commit ea319518ba3de282c13ae1cf4bf2215c5e03e67e
Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>
Date:   Fri Dec 26 15:08:55 2008 +0100

    locking, percpu counters: introduce separate lock classes
    
    Impact: fix lockdep false positives
    
    Classify percpu_counter instances similar to regular lock objects --
    that is, per instantiation site.
    
    The networking code has increased its use of percpu_counters, which
    leads to false positives if they are treated as a single class.
