This is because kprobes (just like kmemcheck and mmiotrace) needs to
disable interrupts while it single-steps the instruction. This is not
dangerous, and should be fixed by doing as the warning suggests, by
annotating the irqs-off. I don't remember the name of the function(s),
it is probably somewhere in lockdep.h.
