See the last section in linux/Documentation/lockdep-design.txt -- in summary,
the leading causes are (1) every module load/unload leaks lock classes, and (2)
statically initialized locks create separate classes.

It might be possible for us to reduce the latter effect, but we can't help the
former.  Either way, it's not any sign that we have a problem, just that we've
caused lockdep to exceed its internal maximum.
