If possible, please take the patch:

           [PATCH] ARM: fix 'unannotated irqs-on' lockdep warning

which not only fixes the warning and make lockdep available,
but also is more efficient than before if lockdep is enabled:

          - remove one calling for asm_trace_hardirqs_on before returning
to user-space
          - convert asm_trace_hardirqs_on to trace_hardirqs_on in the
path of returning to kernel space from exception and only call it if
harirqs will be enabled before returning.


Thanks,
