Good call. Checking that local interrupts were enabled when trying to get
the kernel lock was _not_ one of the sanity checks I had (I was checking
the sanity of the lock itself, rather than checking the sanity of the
caller).
I'm compiling the kernel with an added test right now - that would
certainly have explained some problems. Trying to get the kernel lock with
interrupts off is a rather bad idea,
