    It works in kernel.

    The easy fix is to just export bdget. An alternate way would be to
    keep an internal table of 'pinned' devices and check it at open time
    to see if it has been protected from invalidate_buffers() previously
    or not. I'll see if I can do that instead of exporting yet another
    symbol. (exporting bdget/bdput looks reasonable though)
