It seems the v4l and udf code has been worked out now and patches to kill the BKL there are finally making it upstream.
As promised, here are the patches I did since the kernel summit to turn off the BKL by default. Given that -rc2 is out now, I don't know how much of these you still want for 2.6.37, so just pick the ones you like and I'll send a pull request for the rest once the 2.6.38 merge window opens.
Just for info, UDF BKL removal patches seem to work fine but I want to give them some final SMP testing on Monday before pushing them to -next. I'm not sure how much people hurry with disabling the lock so if I should push them ASAP or whether the next merge window is fine...

I don't think I can reasonably do it in 37, we're late enough in the -rc series. So UDF and really saying 'n' to BKL by default will have to be for the next merge window.
I hate to do it, but I'd be too nervous about it any other way.
