Ok, thanks for the report. There is a patch for coda to remove the BKL.
We discussed it yesterday and I subsequently removed the switch that
disables it on non-BKL configs.

We then agreed to not have the patch included in my series, and Jan's
tree is not part of linux-next.

There are more of these in mainline once Linus pulls my tree, but that
just means that we need to get all the other trees into -rc1 that
remove the BKL from other subsystems, before applying the patch that
lets you build with CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=y and CONFIG_BKL=n.

Right now, both allyesconfig (with BKL) and allnoconfig (without coda)
work fine, we only get a few really obscure randconfigs breaking.
