Lockdep uses static keys by default. Associating a single static key 
with multiple synchronization object instances can cause false 
positives. This is why I introduced support for dynamic keys in lockdep 
about four years ago. I don't think that it is possible to make dynamic 
keys the default without changing all synchronization primitives.

Most lockdep reports indicate a real problem so every lockdep report 
should be reviewed. Having to review false positive complaints every 
time blocktests is run is tedious. I think it is much better to suppress 
false positive complaints (in a safe way) rather than asking everyone 
who runs blktests to review all false positive lockdep complaints every 
time blktests is run.
