hm, i forgot about that. We basically turned off all bad-nesting 
warnings in lockdep due to false positives.

the workqueue dependencies should all nest perfectly so please just use 
nested==1, even though it's a dummy right now. We might want to turn 
unlock-nest checking back on in the future. Or we'll remove that 
parameter altogether.
