It might be possible. I will play with this tomorrow, modeling after
the use of lockdep_set_class_and_name() in rcu_init_one(). I am a bit
concerned about systems with thousands of CPUs, but it just might be OK.

If telling lockdep that these are different locks works, that should
be easier. Though maybe Uladzislau can assure me that moving this
schedule_delayed_monitor_work() is OK.

Thanx, Paul
