I understand that different lockdep classes could allow for nested
locking, but I don't have a good idea of how that would actually be
implemented.  Could you elaborate a bit more?

In the mean time I'm looking at some different locking semantics that
don't involve lockdep class mangling, just a more fine-grained approach
to locking exactly what we want.

Regards,
Mike
