This patch adds __FILE__ and __LINE__ to arguments passed for

This affects to lockdep_map of class_mutex of struct class_private,
and these will be used to make trace lock events more human friendly.

Greg, any objection to this type of embellishment of lock data that comes from
the driver core?

No, I'll queue it up in my tree.

Er, oops, sorry, that would go through your tree, not mine :)

Feel free to add:

In looking at it, this might solve the lockdep issue with the device
tree as well, I'll have to play with it once this makes it into Linus's
tree.

thanks,

Greg,

I'll add your ack in future version of this patch, thanks!
(perf lock has some build errors)
