I'm doing some driver cleanup on the ixj telephony driver, mostly copy/ 
paste and common code refactoring. I'm also looking at trying to get  
rid of the BKL from the 2 places its used, so I was wondering if we  
have a list of kernel calls that still require the BKL to be held, and  
if we don't have a list would it be worthwhile to put one into  
Documentation, I'd be willing to maintain the list as we removed the  
BKL from the last core kernel places.
