Additional info:

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2006-07-11 06:56:11 UTC

nvidia module shouldn't be picking up this symbol.

Comment 2 Terence Ripperda 2006-07-11 14:35:02 UTC

unfortunately, our module has no choice if the user has enabled the lock
verifier, as the lock verifier code will pull in this symbol automatically.

Comment 3 Dave Jones 2006-07-14 22:21:23 UTC

then complain upstream, because rawhide will always be running with lockdep
enabled from now on. (It'll be disabled for release kernels only).
