FWIW, the LOCKDEP warnings are false positives. The fix includes
updates to one new API function, which would be an additional patch.
When I talked with Thomas, it sounded like it was better just to wait
for the merge window instead of trying to figure out a way to land
this separately in other trees. Obviously this is up to Dave, but it
seemed like a merge of tip/timers/core into net-next would be
confusing.
