No but there could be missing hyphens ("for the to-be-introduced
private memory"); possibly a "soon" could help parsing and that is
what you were talking about?

I think that would be incorrect on the very first start?

Yes:

#define lockdep_assert_held_write(l)    \
        lockdep_assert(lockdep_is_held_type(l, 0))

where 0 is the lock-held type used by lock_acquire_exclusive. In turn
is what you get for a spinlock or mutex, in addition to a rwlock or
rwsem that is taken for write.

Instead, lockdep_assert_held() asserts that the lock is taken without
asserting a particular lock-held type.

Yes, good idea.
