What can I do to tell sparse that this code is ok and there should not be a warning? Is there a "__ignore_context_imbalance" or something that I can mark
up the {un,}lock_kernel() with or something like that?

No, you should annotate the function as already having the lock when
entered.

        int myfunction(..)
                __releases(kernel_lock)
                __acquires(kernel_lock)
        {
                unlock_kernel();
                ..
                lock_kernel();
        }

Great, thanks!  That works a treat. (-:

Best regards,

        Anton
