So the only difference between PROVE_LOCKING and not should be the
might_lock_read() thing; so how about something like this?

One question here: I'm guessing you put this comment here
for illustrative purposes, implying code that will
be enabled in -rt?
We don't want it upstream I think, right?

Right, and as a reminder that when we do this we need to add a patch to
-rt. But yeah, we should have a look and see if its worth pulling those
patches from -rt into mainline in some way shape or form. They're big
but trivial IIRC.

I'm fine with you leaving that comment out though..

So the problem with the below is that might_fault is needed
in asm/uaccess.h.
I'm still trying various approaches but the dependencies there
are very complex.
