Absolutely not.

I could imagine merging something like just the bkl_ioctl rename: if it 
breaks, it won't compile, so there is little risk, and _if_ it helps the 
next merge window I could merge it early.

But it looks like people are trying to avoid it entirely, and there is not 
a way in *hell* I will take some big and scary "push BKL down" patch that 
is clearly _not_ 99% mechanical and clearly _can_ introduce major and 
subtle bugs while compiling.
