It doesnt just upset lockdep, it could also cause real lockups. 
Lockdep is just the canary, the lockup is the methane explosion.

Hm, i'd suggest we go for the methane leak instead of squashing the 
canary. Which in this case would be try_one_irq() ignoring 
IRQF_DISABLED or so? Affecting (much) more ISRs than just 
tifm_7xx1_isr()?
