perhaps caused by this one:

| commit 76a2a6ee8a0660a29127f05989ac59ae1ce865fa
| Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>
| Date:   Fri Jun 27 13:41:15 2008 +0200
|
|    sched: sched_clock_cpu() based cpu_clock()

?

Does the patch below (or the tip/master i just pushed out) fix it?

    sched: sched_clock_cpu() based cpu_clock(), lockdep fix
    
    Vegard Nossum reported:
    
    > WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2738 check_flags+0x142/0x160()
    
    which happens due to:
    
     unsigned long long cpu_clock(int cpu)
     {
             unsigned long long clock;
             unsigned long flags;
    
             raw_local_irq_save(flags);
    
    as lower level functions can take locks, we must not do that, use
    proper lockdep-annotated irq save/restore.
