Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: Add novalidate class for dev->mutex conversion

Hi Greg,

Here's a FWD of the patch Thomas send you, you might want to put the
first hunk into your dev->sem to mutex patch so that you can reverse
these two patches in order.

Subject: lockdep: Add novalidate class for dev->mutex conversion
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 10:37:53 +0100

The conversion of device->sem to device->mutex resulted in lockdep
warnings. Create a novalidate class for now until the driver folks
come up with separate classes. That way we have at least the basic
mutex debugging coverage.

Add a checkpatch error so the usage is reserved for device->mutex.

[ tglx: checkpatch and compile fix for LOCKDEP=n ]
