With the ioctl, block, tty, vfs and llseek series on their way into linux-next, these three patches are attacking the hardest remaining issues.
If we get these ready for 2.6.36, the kernel should be almost usable with the BKL disabled. In all three cases, I'm cheating a bit, because the BKL still remains lurking in the dark corners of the three subsystems (i810/i830 for drm, OSS for sound and lockd for fs/locks.c).
