[PATCH] epca: lock_kernel push down

From: Alan Cox
Date: Wed Feb 20 2008 - 15:23:32 EST


Prepare epca for removing the lock from above. Most of epca is internally
locked so we can trivially push it down to a few bits of code. Drop the TIOCG/SSOFTCAR handling as that is done *properly* with locks by the mid layer.
