Hi, I have seen the following message while booting 2.6.26-rt1 kernel on x86_64. I have enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, CONFIG_LOCKDEP. CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP in the config. INFO: trying to register non-static key. the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation. turning off the locking correctness validator.
