    inifiband: Remove BKL from ipath_open() · f96d3015
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    cycle_kernel_lock() got pushed down to ipath_open(). I tried hard to
    understand what it might protect, but finally gave up.
    
    Roland noted that qlogic seems to have abandoned the ipath driver and
    came to the following wise conclusion: "So I guess if the BKL stuff is
    blocking you in any way, we can just drop it from ipath and leave it
    as yet another race condition in a rotting old driver."
