Yeah, I also started looking at it after reading the LWN article. The removal of set_fs() in ALSA part was already finished, and I'm currently brushing up the patches. It'll be in 4.13 at latest.
Great!
That said, I'd love to drop that legacy stuff; or maybe as a soft-landing, begin with disabling the build of sound/oss in Kconfig.
The latter can be done even for 4.12, if Linus doesn't mind.
I'd be absolutely in favor of trying that and seeing if anyone screams.
