A number of driver functions are so obviously trivial that they do not need the big kernel lock - at least not overtly. It turns out that the acquisition of the BKL in driver open() functions can perform a sort of poor-hacker's serialization function, delaying the open operation until the driver is certain to have completed its initialization. Add a simple cycle_kernel_lock() function for these cases to make it clear that there is no need to *hold* the BKL, just to be sure that we can acquire it.
