Wouldn't it be perfectly ok if we just made sure to keep the disk device refcount elevated by the _mount_?
Ie Russell's patch to elevate it around everything didn't work, but elevating the bdev->bd_disk reference count by a mount, and dropping it on umount (after doing the umount event) should be ok. No?
