great! Here's the cleaned up fix for Andrew:

----------------------------
Subject: lock validator: irqflags-trace entry.S fix
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

this fixes the irqflags-tracing bug reported (and relentlessly
debugged) by Michal Piotrowski: if we took a fault while interrupts
were disabled (for example of a vmalloc area) then irqflags-tracing
mistakenly assumed that the iret would re-enable interrupts.
