Oops. I misread. Still, my point stands; we should have the same
definition of how you're allowed to use locks from the lockdep point of
view, even if the underlying implementation won't deadlock on a particular
usage model.
So I'd be happy with:
+ return lockdep_pretend_in_interrupt || in_interrupt();
to allow the test-suite to test that it works as expected, without
actually disabling interrupts while the testsuite runs.
