I requested you to include this patch but now am not sure anymore.
Looks like there are almost 30 more users which are directly
tweaking 'tasklet_struct' fields and calling other APIs. Hunting them
and fixing them probably would be an exercise and also those changes
needs those changed drivers to be tested.

What do you suggest ? At least this patch needs to be dropped as of now
till we can have complete coverage for those bad users.  
Yes, it needs to be dropped. Stephen, can you please revert it from next?
I will do the revert today.  It reverts cleanly, so hopefully there are
no side effects.
