Would you like me to take this patch into my bkl/vfs tree? I think that would make it easier for me because I'm adding another instance of the BKL there, in the ncp_fill_super function. As far as I can tell that change (see below) becomes pointless with your patch. I could either just revert my change or replace it with your patch, whichever you prefer.
