Whoops, it's because of the following typo:

should be		mark_gpio_locking(j).

That's an off-by-one error in ASCII or QWERTY (adjacency), and
in terms of typefaces it's a few pixels.  Sigh.

Since that seems to behave, I'll send along a couple patches
like this ... unless you say this isn't really, after all, the
right way to address this problem.  Note that neither IRQ has
ever been triggered at this point ... I'll move the marking up
a bit to ensure the lock has never been taken either.
