Which bugs in particular were you thinking might be caused by this? There's not that much generic code left under BKL these days anyway is there? And as for drivers.. just ioctls ?
Last time I looked there was a ton of code in fs/* which required BKL. Drivers were written not to assume BKL for years, but due to general ineptitude of driver writers this wasn't really enforced.
