Dunno, I think the problem here is in kernel/irq/spurious.c.

tifm_7xx1_isr() can legitimately use spin_lock() on that lock, because
it's running in hard IRQ context and "knows" that tifm_7xx1_isr()
cannot be reentered on this CPU while it is running.

But try_one_irq() is running tifm_7xx1_isr() with local interrupts
enabled, which upsets lockdep.

An appropriate fix might be to change try_one_irq() to run the handler
under local_irq_disable(), but I'm sure it'll get more complex than
that :(

But I suspect that the code as it stands is non-buggy. Unless the
interrupt can magically come back to life. In which case any change we
make is purely a make-lockdep-shut-up thing.
