The most important one is the addition of the CONFIG_BKL Kconfig symbol, which can be used to mark device drivers that are still using the BKL so we can build a kernel that does not provide or need it. I'd like to add this series to linux-next and submit it for linux-2.6.36 inclusion, but would even more welcome the individual maintainers to pick up the respective patches and put them in their next trees.
