btw, i think it would be better to name it 'lock', all around -
i.e. lock.h, lock subsystem, etc.

lockdep is the 'lock dependency tracking engine'.

The locking related tracepoints here are implemented via lockdep
right now, but that might be done differently in the future - and
we dont want to do a rename (or live with a misnomer) then.
