No, strange that, I can't say I've ever seen a bogus stracktrace in
lockdep reports like this.

So this is through: check_prev_add()->save_trace(). And that doesn't
reuse entries, at worst it can truncate a trace when we run out of
entries, but the above looks complete since it terminates in
lock_acquire(), which is the right place to be.

But its worse than that, the above trace should link i8259A_lock to
port_lock_key, and I can't see where we would have taken i8259A_lock
either.

So not only does it not terminate at taking the right lock, it doesn't
even take the previous lock.

And this one looks legit, weird that.
