Hello

Well, it doesnt complain about MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES anymore, but
now it gives me:

BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!
turning off the locking correctness validator.
Pid: 1672, comm: qemu-kvm Not tainted 2.6.30-wl #2
Call Trace:

which looks like its younger brother :-). (Also appears on other
programs, not just qemu-kvm)

Should i increase its value too? Am i not just masking something else
by doing this?

Thank you for your time,
