Well,, for 2.6.27 that's what we'll have to do. But there's actually a 
real problem here - the unlocked ioctl's (which we _should_ prefer) have a 
strictly weaker and worse interface. I also wonder if any other 
block_ioctl users were converted..

Anyway, I'll take your email as an ack for the revert.
