Subject: [GIT PULL] lockdep: Add lightweight IRQs disabled/enabled check v2

Ingo,

Please pull the lockdep/irq-v2 branch that can be found at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git
	lockdep/irq-v2

HEAD: c741fbe70afb0e488f4356456e6397d205f115ce

--
Changes on v2:

* Fix spurious warnings when lockdep is temporarily disabled, like NTFS
  does while mounting superblock (reported by Wu Fengguang).

* Remove the IRQ flags auto-correction which doesn't make anymore sense
  now that the assertion is config-dependent. (Suggested by Peter Zijlstra).

Summary:

Checking whether IRQs are disabled or enabled is often an important
sanity check. Now we can be sometimes reluctant to have it on fastpath
because reading the flags can be somewhat costly.

As suggested by Peter Zijlstra some time ago, this would be a nice
lockdep extension: it's the natural concurrency sanity checker and it
already tracks down the irqflags state.


Thanks,
	Frederic
