Fenghua, I'd really appreciate if you could take a deep breath and slow
down. The most important thing is getting the right patch out and being
as respectful as possible with reviewer bandwidth.

Is this really an appropriate place to stick this function? Without any
whitespace, and even pushing out the "#undef" that was here before?

Please unindent this code block.

Comments please.

The comment about #AC being impossible in the kernel without the split
lock detection feature belongs here, not below.

Is this consistent with the code that was here before? Basically, if we
are in the kernel, get an #AC and end up here, we just return from this
function? Is that what DO_ERROR() did?

Is it an issue? I'd probably say: "split lock operation detected"

Extra whitespace.
