I changed it into the below; since I did significant edits, let me know

Subject: lockdep: Add task_irq_context()
From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@...il.com>
Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2016 13:57:40 +0800

task_irq_context(): returns the encoded irq_context of the task, the
return value is encoded in the same as ->irq_context of held_lock.
Always return 0 if !(CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS && CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING)
