muhaha - i dont even know that guy who did this sloppy commit 2 years
ago - "Ingo Molnar", or however he is called.

I believe my (mistaken) thinking would have been that desc->irq lockdep
class does not matter as long as we dont do irq-tracing. Which might
have been borderline correct then but is wrong now, for things like
lockstat?
