We do not need the BKL struct_mutex in order to allocate a GEM object, nor to create the framebuffer, so resist the temptation to take the BKL willy nilly. As this changes the locking contract around internal API calls, the patch is a little larger than a plain removal of a pair of mutex_lock/unlock.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
