what do you mean? If something does lock_kernel() within spin_lock() then the might_sleep() check in down() catches it and will print a warning. (None of these warnings has triggered on any of my 3 systems yet, suggesting that the problem is not widespread. In any case it's very likely a _bug_ so we want to know!)
