It should disable lock-order checks for the locks that set that as
class. So we can still do the simple checks like detect if we free
memory with a held lock in and make sure we do not return to userspace
with a held lock; but the class should not participate in the lock
graph.

I'll have a look at your earlier email again; I did note the question
but it slipped my mind :/
