I noticed things like lock_kernel() in munmap for example, and in the
page fault handler of some architectures (but not i386). Given the
semaphores and so there do seem to be more lock_kernel()s than I'd expect.
I removed them from the sparc page fault handlers a few weeks ago, and
I merged that into 2.1.127 I thought, if not the next merge will get
that.
They were certainly in there by mistake, and if other ports still have
them the maintainers should follow the lead of x86/sparc/etc.
