This looks good, I've taken this and I've squashed
the generic pieces of your RFC into this (i.e.
I haven't modified the drivers, but just added the
flag to allow the ioctls to be unlocked if the driver
selects them).
Do you think we should try and get this in soon,
its seems like it shouldn't have any regressions
unless we start switching drivers over.
Well, since the patch should not change the behaviour
of the drivers, it probably doesn't matter to users
either way. However, it touches a number of places,
which can break patches that others are working on,
so maybe you should get it upstream at a point that
has the least impact to developer (possibly now).
Doing it now at least makes it easier to test
moving drivers to unlocked operation.
