I've cobbled that together locally (i'll post it momentarily), and gave it a
spin on both arm64 and x86, whereupon it exploded at boot time on x86.

In arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c's timer_irq_works() we do:

local_irq_save(flags);
local_irq_enable();

[ trigger an IRQ here ]

local_irq_restore(flags);

... and in check_timer() we call that a number of times after either a
local_irq_save() or local_irq_disable(), eventually trailing with a
local_irq_disable() that will balance things up before calling
local_irq_restore().

I guess that timer_irq_works() should instead do:

local_irq_save(flags);
local_irq_enable();
...
local_irq_disable();
local_irq_restore(flags);

... assuming we consider that legitimate?

With that, and all the calls to local_irq_disable() in check_timer() removed
(diff below) I get a clean boot under QEMU with the assertion hacked in and
DEBUG_LOCKDEP enabled.

Thanks
Mark.
