There are also new drivers for speakup, intel_sst and yurex that introduce
additional file_operations in next, the patch below is what I had planned
to submit once everything is in. I also expect the occasional driver that
did not see linux-next, so I'll rerun my scripts after -rc1 to see what
we got.

As Christoph mentioned, we probably shouldn't make new drivers use
noop_llssek if possible nor add an explicit no_llseek and we can just
leave those with the implicit no_llseek.

Once open question is what pread/pwrite should do if there is no
llseek function. Right now they are both possible, but it would also
be logical to turn this into an implicit nonseekable_open, which forbids
pread/pwrite as well.
