Ack, looks sane to me.
We have _very_ few users of nr_exclusive. I wonder if it's even worth
having at all, but it's definitely not worth it here.
I'd love for nr_exclusive to go away and be replaced by WF_ALL
instead. Right now it looks like there is one SGI driver that uses it,
and the sbitmap code. That was all I could find.
Oh well. You removing one case is at last a small amount of progress.
