Which may or may not be a good thing depending how you look at it; it
means that once your kernel blanks, you get a lockdep dump.  At that
point you lose lockdep checking for everything else because lockdep
disables itself after the first dump.

Fair enough, we may want to revert the lockdep checking for
console_lock, and make re-enabling it part of the patch-series that
fixes the locking.

Daniel/Dave? Does that sound reasonable?

Reverting the patch is fine with me.  Just let me know so I can queue it
up again for 3.9.
