Subject: [RFC] annotating the remaining BKL users

With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a
few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even
there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do
about them, this patch illustrates one of the options:

Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig,
and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets
disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL
code itself is compiled out.

Eventually, I hope that all code that people care about gets
rid of the BKL and we can toss the rest into drivers/staging
and delete it some time later.

As an alternative to this patch, we could just mark all these
modules as "select BKL" in Kconfig and not make it the option
user-visible.

I'd like to hear preferences for one approach or the other,
especially from Linus, so we can give this some better testing
in -next before the merge window.
