Hi Ingo:

Looks like this change was introduced by the validator patch.  Any idea
why this was done? AF_UNIX is a user-space-driven socket so there shouldn't
be any need for BH to be disabled there.

Even if it does this patch should go through the normal channels rather
than the lock validator.

Cheers,
