Subject: [PATCH 2/2] lockdep: allow user to disable CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS

From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@...il.com>

There is still the lost irq-on tracing issue on ARM,
(see http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=126047420005553&w=2)
which may disable lockdep after kernel boot, seems no
good solution for the issue up to now.

The patch exports the config option of CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS
and allows user to disable it for support of checking circular
dead lock only if irq flags tracing can't work correctly always.
