I had originally made them for 2.6.37 and they have been in linux-next since. None of them has any real significance at this point, since there are few people using the remaining modules that require the BKL (ipx, appletalk, x.25, ufs, adfs, hpfs, i830-drm, and a few bits in staging). I expect to see patches for the first four in that list at some point in the near future, after that I suppose we can remove the option along with the remaining dependencies completely. For now, please pick any patches you like out of these four.
