Everything I know of is already in my tree now.  And I just checked
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/roland/infiniband.git;a=shortlog;h=for-next
and I see both "IB/mad: Fix possible lock-lock-timer deadlock" and
"IPoIB: Drop priv->lock before calling ipoib_send()" there.  Those are
all the lockdep-related things I know of.

I have a hard time imagining that either of those issues could cause a
deadlock on half of boots either.  Are you sure the deadlock you see is
related to one of those fixes?
