I'd agree that the change to enforce readonly devs is a desirable change
to make.  But we're still discovering exactly what things it breaks and
as well as further kernel patches some userspace changes seem
unavoidable.  Personally I'd prefer it if this change went back into
linux-next to give us more time to prepare for it cleanly.  It's
unfortunate none of us picked up on these problems sooner.
