Ming Lei pointed out that my comment was wrong. The reason for the
lockdep violation was because Maarten had set up xhci-hcd to use
threaded interrupts. You can see this in the current process name in
the lockdep warning: "irq/42-xhci_hcd" is the name of an
interrupt-handler thread.
Without threaded interrupts, it seems likely that no changes are
needed. Certainly no changes are needed in xhci_irq(), because usbcore
disables local interrupts explicitly before invoking legacy interrupt
handlers (see usb_hcd_irq() in hcd.c). In the absense of threaded
interrupts, I assume xhci_msi_irq() will be invoked with interrupts
disabled -- if not then it will need to disable them before calling
xhci_irq().
