So, I'm rather ambivalent about this patchset but leaning towards not
applying them. The lock guards are fine but I'm not sure what converting the
existing code base wholesale buys us. We're already pretty good at detecting
locking problems with lockdep and all and the code being modified hasn't
seen significant locking changes in ages. There are no practical benefits to
converting the code base at this point.

Thanks.
