Subject: [PATCH 0/3] further BKL removal

With the ioctl, block, tty, vfs and llseek series
on their way into linux-next, these three patches
are attacking the hardest remaining issues.

If we get these ready for 2.6.36, the kernel should
be almost usable with the BKL disabled. In all three
cases, I'm cheating a bit, because the BKL still
remains lurking in the dark corners of the three
subsystems (i810/i830 for drm, OSS for sound and
lockd for fs/locks.c).
