    This patch adds the lock depth of the big kernel lock to the generic
    entry header. This way we can see the depth of the lock and help
    in removing the BKL.
    
    Example:
    
     #                  _------=> CPU#
     #                 / _-----=> irqs-off
     #                | / _----=> need-resched
     #                || / _---=> hardirq/softirq
     #                ||| / _--=> preempt-depth
     #                |||| /_--=> lock-depth
     #                |||||/     delay
     #  cmd     pid   |||||| time  |   caller
     #     \   /      ||||||   \   |   /
