Re: [PATCH] fb: Remove use of lock_kernel / unlock_kernel in fbmem

[Thiago Galesi <thiagogalesi@gmail.com>]

This patch removes lock_kernel(), unlock_kernel() usage in fbmem.c and replaces it with a mutex

Ok, 2nd try

The only thing I don't like is the name of fb_ioctl, but I don't have a better idea, so...
