Looks very useful!

Would you be interested in extending this to other lockdep splats as well? 

"What does this mean" is a very common reaction to lockdep splats on lkml, and 
it's kind of silly that lockdep does not explain things better (like your patch 
does) - it has already done the much harder job of *proving* that a locking 
sequence is problematic :-)
