* is always the same. This ordering rule can be expressed
* to lockdep via the _nested() APIs, but enumerating the
* subclasses that are used. (If the nesting relationship is
* static then another method for expressing nested locking is
* the explicit definition of lock class keys and the use of
* lockdep_set_class() at lock initialization time.
* See Documentation/lockdep-design.txt for more details.)
