Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Increase lockdep limits

Hello

These patches apply on top of Linus current tree (as of 2.6.31-rc2).

They increase the limits on lockdep usage that have been reported as
being hit repeatedly, and in most (all?) those reported cases, as
false positives. Increasing those values will allow for lockdep to
work as intended, rather than being turned off too early.

They can be applied separately, but if you apply them in order, you
increase all the limits reported as false positive so far, and in the
order in which they are hit.

As to the actual changes, its only value-by-value changes, no logic changes.

It has the It-works-for-me stamp.
