The revert is now in -rc6.

Hmmm, I have here...

     CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT=y

Excerpts from the revert [1]:
[...]
-#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP
-static struct lockdep_map console_lock_dep_map = {
-       .name = "console_lock"
-};
-#endif
[...]

Checking for CONFIG_LOCKDEP ...

[ lib/Kconfig.debug ]
...
config LOCKDEP
        bool
        depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT &&
STACKTRACE_SUPPORT && LOCKDEP_SUPPORT
        select STACKTRACE
        select FRAME_POINTER if !MIPS && !PPC && !ARM_UNWIND && !S390
&& !MICROBLAZE
        select KALLSYMS
        select KALLSYMS_ALL
...

[ arch/x86/Kconfig ]
...
config LOCKDEP_SUPPORT
        def_bool y
...

I would have expected a check for CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT.
This is BTW with Linux v3.8-rc5!
