Lock validor found a bug in NVidia driver, film at 11.
It almost certainly didn't, as you have to do some major ugly and evil
things to get the NVidia driver to build (it won't pass modpost if the
kernel is built with lockdep due to the GPL-only exports that get sucked in).
I have no idea how NVidia managed to work around that problem, but
VMware modules suddenly depend on this GPL-only symbol, although nothing
in the module sources refers to lockdep (same sources which worked
yesterday are being used).
It doesn't reference it directly - it gets sucked in via a #define.
VMware code is shoot down due to use of init_waitqueue_head(). It is
now virtually GPL-only because it is inlined and uses GPL-only function
lockdep_init_map :-(
