Not that I can see. You only change the lock functions in
pispbe_prepare_job().

You know my opinion about BSPs :-) I'm OK keeping this for a bit longer
until we implement proper multi-context support in mainline, assuming it
can be done in a reasonable time frame.

Once queue_job gets replaced with a pointer that code will need to be
touched, but we can wait until then.
