 * is always the same. This ordering rule can be expressed
 * to lockdep via the _nested() APIs, but enumerating the
 * subclasses that are used. (If the nesting relationship is
 * static then another method for expressing nested locking is
 * the explicit definition of lock class keys and the use of
 * lockdep_set_class() at lock initialization time.
 * See Documentation/lockdep-design.txt for more details.)
