Doh, you're right, thanks for pointing this out. I missed that huge
comment you put in the code right where I modified it that said exactly
that...

So, here's a revised patch that I've added to my bk-driver tree.

thanks,

-------------
Subject: kmap: remove usage of rwsem from kobj_map.

This forces the caller to provide the lock, but as they all already had one, it's not a big change.
It also removes the now-unneeded cdev_subsys. Thanks to Jon Corbet for reminding me about that.
