That's a neat trick, well thought of

I'll get back poking on this when my left hand can type comfortably again...
Hope you heal soon, burns in fingers are painful I know...

FYI: MSSF/Aegis is so problematic on 3.5.3, that I think it'd be better simply to stub Aegis functions.

If you still choose to patch in real Aegis bits (tm), note that DECLARE_MUTEX is now DEFINE_SEMAPHORE
I did that once, adding aegisfs stubs back to mainline kernel but did not really go through with it. At that time I had not yet built serial console and so I had no real visibility what was going on in the boot phase... now it would be much easier
