So there is preliminary series sitting in VFS tree that changes how block
devices are open. There are some conflicts with btrfs tree and bcachefs
merge that complicate all this (plus there was quite some churn in VFS
itself due to changing rules how block devices are open) so I didn't push
out the series that actually forbids opening of mounted block devices
because that would cause a "merge from hell" issues. I plan to push out the
remaining patches once the merge window closes and all the dependencies are
hopefully in a stable state. Maybe I can push out the series earlier based
on linux-next so that people can have a look at the current state.
