I haven't got around to investigating this in more detail yet, but
there's also this long-standing lockdep hiccup in blktap:

Starting auto Xen domains: lurch  alloc irq_desc for 1235 on node 0
  alloc kstat_irqs on node 0
block tda: sector-size: 512 capacity: 614400
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.
