Sure - here are the results (btw, it reproduces very easily):

[ 13.525119] ================================================
[ 13.527165] [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
[ 13.528752] 3.6.0-rc6-next-20120918-sasha-00002-g190c311-dirty #362 Tainted: GW
[ 13.531314] ------------------------------------------------
[ 13.532918] init/1 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
[ 13.534574] 1 lock held by init/1:
[ 13.535533] #0: (rcu_idle){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff811c36d0>]
rcu_eqs_enter_common+0x1a0/0x9a0

I'm basically seeing lots of the above, so I can't even get to the point where I
get the previous lockdep warnings.
