    This removes the BKL in hpfs in a rather awful
    way, by making the code only work on uniprocessor
    systems without kernel preemption, as suggested
    by Andi Kleen.
    
    The HPFS code probably has close to zero remaining
    users on current kernels, all archeological uses of
    the file system can probably be done with the significant
    restrictions.
    
    The hpfs_lock/hpfs_unlock functions are left in the
    code, sincen Mikulas has indicated that he is still
    interested in fixing it in a better way.
