  | When _userland_ opens the raw /dev/rdkN _character_ device, for a
  | wedge on (say) raid0, the _kernel_ will do the equivalent of opening
  | the /dev/raid0 _block_ device.

Oh yes, sorry, I saw that in your earlier messages, and somehow failed
to take any notice...

  | The patch to spec_vnops.c is necessary to make spec_open gracefully
  | return EBUSY instead of crashing the kernel when this happens.

I have no problem with that patch, my question was more whether I should
keep it removed in the kernels I am running (I can do, no problem with that,
if it might help).
