OK, here it is:

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The ne2000 drivers use disable_irq as a poor mans locking construct; make
sure lockdep knows about these.

NOTE NOTE: the ne2000 driver calls these *from interrupt context*. That's
a new situation that needs to be analyzed for correctness still; it feels
really wrong to me (but then again so does disable_irq() tricks in general)
