Note that due to the heavy objections in the kvmtool thread I 
have removed the tools/lib/lockdep library and tooling commits 
from the locking tree - to be able to merge the other locking 
commits upstream.

I'm pretty sad about this outcome as your code really brought 
new development life into lockdep - if you still want to pursue 
this approach then you might want to try it via the tools/kvm 
tree, or via a separate project.

Thanks,

	Ingo
