A small bogon sneaked into the ppc64 lockdep support. A test is
branching slightly off causing a clobbered register value to
overwrite the irq state under some circumstances.

This explains some of the reported weird lockdep errors, maybe
even all of them, we'll see.
We should probably backport that to 2.6.26-stable too, any candidate ?
