Hi,
I get a warning from lockdep during boot; 2.6.18-rc3 don't have this
warning. I see a similar report in the archive (I haven't found time to
test the patch...):

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=115506258902757&w=2

but my stacktrace is a bit different, so I'm reporting this one too:

other info that might help us debug this:
