regarding your point wrt. path of integration - it is pretty much the

patches, but to collect ACKs from subsystem maintainers in the process. 
So if you like it i'd like to have your ACK but this patch depends on 
the other lock validator patches (and only makes sense together with 
them), so they should temporarily stay in the lock validator queue. 
Hopefully this wont be a state that lasts too long and once the 
validator is upstream, all patches of course go via the subsystem 
submission rules.

Obviously as long as Dave is happy with it then it's fine.  However,
it's probably a good idea to cc netdev for relevant patches so that
they get a wider review.  If you've already sent this one there then
I apologise for missing it :)

(the #ifdef LOCKDEP should probably be converted to some sort of 
lockdep_split_lock_key(&sk->sk_receive_queue.lock) op - i'll do that 
later)

Cool.

Thanks,
