This still implies that we'll get lockdep warnings if the AML
does something dodgy with mutexes, right?

I don't like that. We cannot generally fix the AML, the only
way would be to time out on a deadlock and let it handle that.
Also it's not that we don't get enough ACPI reports already.

Is there a way to just turn lockdep always off for these mutexes?
