    uml: kill big kernel lock · 9a181c58
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    Three uml device drivers still use the big kernel lock,
    but all of them can be safely converted to using
    a per-driver mutex instead. Most likely this is not
    even necessary, so after further review these can
    and should be removed as well.
    
    The exec system call no longer requires the BKL either,
    so remove it from there, too.
