to answer the "is that a lockdep or just trace feature" question:

trace-irqflags was first written by me for the (crude) ftrace-precursor
latency tracer code in -rt, years ago. Then i reused it (and changed it
alot) for upstream lockdep, two years ago. Then ftrace came in this year
and reused it.

so it's rather symbiotic ;-)

So ... the tracers that rely on irqflags-tracing should definitely be
limited to architectures that provide TRACE_IRQFLAGS. The core trace.c
itself should probably not be restricted ... (and it should definitely
build)
