That sounds like something coverity could be taught with reasonable
effort - if someone from them is listening.  Not sure if sparse has
enough context to do the same.

Just to play thick and make things ultra-clear, you say the following
pattern is never legal, correct?

spin_lock_irq(save)
...
spin_lock_bh
...
spin_unlock_bh
...
spin_unlock_irq(restore)

Will do.
