And thank you for trying this shot in the dark!

And this is again a complaint about interrupts not being disabled.

But it does appear that the problem was the lockdep complaint, and
eliminating that did take care of part of the problem. But lockdep
remained enabled, and you therefore hit the next complaint.

The most straightforward way to get to sched_clock_tick() from
cpuidle_enter_state() is via the call to sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event().

Except that it disables interrupts before invoking sched_clock_tick().

Would you be willing to try another shot in the dark, but untested
this time? I freely admit that this is getting strange.

Thanx, Paul
