in any case, i picked up and tidied up Peter's annotation patch - see it 
below. Chances are that this plus the revert will do the trick - and 
that's what i'm testing now in tip/master.

Subject: [PATCH] locking, percpu counters: introduce separate lock classes

Impact: fix lockdep false positives

Classify percpu_counter instances similar to regular lock objects --
that is, per instantiation site.

The networking code has increased its use of percpu_counters, which
leads to false positives if they are treated as a single class.
