Hmm, maybe your right. Although the released version has the wrong
ioctl's and I haven't heard anybody complaining, yet. But that is not an
excuse, I know. I haven't actually _tried_ switching away to see what
happens... 

I'll see if I can make the locking work properly. It will probably
introduce a call splash->lock, splash->unlock. Can you apply the patches
now Rafeal ACK'd them? Then I'll prepare a patch on top of those.
