The only critical user is fs/lockd, I can easily handle the rest. When I talked to Bruce and Trond during LinuxCon, they told me that it should be possible to separate the bits of fs/lockd that lock against fs/locks.c and convert the former to use lock_flocks(). That would be enough to actually apply this patch without the nasty CONFIG_BKL check and with changes to the few other consumers of file locks. My original plan was to have my current patch in -next until that happens.
