Ah, okay, I agree.

No lockdep-warnings anymore whatever I tried. kmemleak reports something, but
this is a different issue (haven't even checked if this is a false positive). I
just put it here as I stumbled over it during this test-run:

unreferenced object 0xb5c644a0 (size 32):
  comm "pccardd", pid 1298, jiffies 202222 (age 1400.050s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    20 00 a7 a6 20 a4 a5 9e d6 a4 87 f4 9c b4 c5 96   ... ...........
    2e 62 6a a6 27 23 e2 ca 62 e2 a2 62 6e c2 ae ee  .bj.'#..b..bn...
