yes, we can do that too - but that would have an effect to non-lockdep
kernels too.

Also, the initialization of the 'port' seems a bit twisted here, already
initialized and not-yet-initialized ports can be passed in to
uard_add_one_port(). So i did not want to touch the structure of the
code - hence the open-coded solution.
