I've gone through all the code in the kernel that
uses the big kernel lock and come up with a solution
that seems at least half-reasonable for each of them.

The decisions are somewhat arbitrary, but here is
what I'd suggest we do:

* Remove in 2.6.39:
   i830, autofs3, smbfs

I thought some people really wanted to keep i830.  Or was that i810?
 I'll drop autofs3 and smbfs, thanks.

i810 needs to be kept, i830 is obsolete, see the patch changelogs
there. I assume that Dave Airlie will take both patches (i810 BKL
removal and i830 removal) into his 2.6.39 queue.

* Work around in an ugly way, but keep alive:
   * ufs, ipx, i810, cx25721

* Fix properly:
   * usbip, go7007, adfs, x25

Thanks for the usbip and go7007 patches, I'll queue them up.

It would be good if you could also take the cx25721 patch. It's
not the nicest one I've done, but it's a bug fix nonetheless.

I guess you're meaning cx25821, right? 

Palash should take a look on it and review. This is a device that allows
12 simultaneous streams, so, I suspect that he'll need to do some
changes at the locking schema, to avoid performance bottlenecks.
