Right. Lockdep checks, whether the tracked interrupt disabled/enabled
state is the same as the state in the hardware. When the check triggers,
then we disabled / enabled interrupts somewhere without going through
lockdeps state tracker. 

/me suspects ASM code missing the TRACE_IFQS_OFF macro in some place,
which was recently modified.
