ouch! the lock identifications look quite funny :-| Never saw that
happen before,

:)

i'm wondering what's going on. Michal, did this happen
straight during bootup? Or did you remove/recompile/reinsert any modules
perhaps?

It's happening while /etc/init.d/cpuspeed execution.

I forgot about "make O=/dir/ clean". When new -mm is out I always
remove kernel directory and create new one.

Arjan is preparing a patch to turn off lockdep when we crash. Although i
dont see any trace of an earlier oops in the dmesg.
