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. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> |

Todo: - checkpatch.pl cleanups - sparse cleanups - lots of little modules, should be merged together and added to the build. - testing? - handle churn in v4l layer. Please send patchs to Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com> and Cc: Ross Cohen <rcohen@snurgle.org> as well.
