Well, if it wasn't honored before anyway, then...

But yes, a much more targeted patch would be preferred.

And in fact, maybe the right thing to do is to not revert the original
commit entirely, but instead just weaken it a lot. Turn the "you did a
write request on a RO disk" into a WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of a hard
error.

Something like the attached patch.

WGH, do you build your own kernels? Does this attached (untested)
patch make things work for you? It should give a big warning, but let
the old behavior through..
