hm. This suggests that the spinlock got corrupted - otherwise lockdep 
would have complained about the lockup before the spinlock-debug code 
had its chance.

yes - PROVE_LOCKING reactivates spinlocks even on UP. At least this 
suggests that you'd have gotten the hang even with maxcpus=1 - i.e. the 
spinlock corruption is not caused by some genuine SMP race.

furthermore, PROVE_LOCKING also turns on DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, so we now 
know that it's most likely not use-after-free type of corruption.
