Several more "BUG: key fffXXXXXXXXXXXX not in .data!" lines show up throughout
the boot process.

This should be fixed by commit c7df670b (contained first in 2.6.34-rc2). Do you still see this even with this patch applied?

After updating to the latest linus git lockstats started working as expected. Thanks for the pointer.
