I find this capability of lockdep very useful.

Hmm ... adding parameters to function still has text cost, I think. No?

Does this still have a small cost in data size on non-lockdep kernels, as well?
If yes, maybe some typedef/macro magic can be used to put this struct in an
unused elf section for such kernels?

I'm pretty sure this still adds to code footprint due to extra function
parameters even on non-lockdep kernels. Will the following work?

@@ -1112,8 +1118,8 @@ static int mthca_alloc_qp_common(struct
