Ok, I also decided to just test it myself too (after applying the tty layer fix) and it doesn't seem to cause any problems, so I've committed it.
If there is dubious BKL usage that triggers the new might_sleep() warning (and it turns out that it's necessary and not really fixable), we can always just remove it again. But on the other hand, maybe it shows some other potential problems that should just be fixed.
We've had quite a bit of BKL work this merge-window. Maybe we'll even get rid of it one of these days. There are "only" about 600 instances of "lock_kernel()" in the tree right now ;)
