Well, that lockdep warning only says you should not be taking sleeping
locks while holding rcu_read_lock(), which is true. It does not say the
context you're doing this is cannot sleep.
I'm not familiar enough with the PPC stuff to tell if the DIE_DABR_MATCH
trap context is atomic or not and this Changelog doesn't tell me.
Anybody?
