Takashi,

The second patch eliminating the lock causes oppes every time (one follows just in case
its helpful).  Suggest that the first patch might suffice to get rid of the opps.  The only worry I 
have is _once_ after getting the lockdep traceback starting X stalled the box (no opps, no 
sysRQ, no log on the serial console).

Ideas?
