And I've submitted a patch to the BSG Kconfig entry to remove it from
experimental status and to make it be turned on by default in the
future.

I'm actually thinking that we should just include it no matter what in
another release or two, without the option to turn it off since it's
so core a feature.

We'll see how my patch flies, it might even make it into 2.6.31-rc3 if
we're lucky.
