Yes, lockdep seems to be fine with kvm in kernel mainline in my
current and past testing. Andrew asked me to check this long ago.

vmx ~ # zgrep LOCKDEP /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y

I can't see lockdep errors in dmesg starting one more multiple VM in a
loop (all run on a quadcore).

GRU is likely the same.

The only real place where lockdep is unusable in my experience is
preempt-RT, it grinds it to an halt during boot on 8-way before
reaching the shell.
