I do not think you miss anything - dkwedge merely lacks locking. Currently,
biodone2() holds kernel-lock for non-MP-safe systems, but no more. For now,
splbio()/splx() should work (protection is required, at least, by dkstart()
and disk_unbusy() in dkiodone()).
Other *iodone routines you listed seems broken too.
