: CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT breaks x86-64 kernel with lockdep enabled, i.e.

: The problem is that ubsan callbacks use spinlocks and might be called
: before lockdep is initialized. Particularly this line in the
: reserve_ebda_region function causes problem:
:
: lowmem = *(unsigned short *)__va(BIOS_LOWMEM_KILOBYTES);

: If i put lockdep_init() before reserve_ebda_region call in
: x86_64_start_reservations kernel loads well.
Fix this ordering issue permanently: change lockdep so that it uses hlists
for the hash tables. Unlike a list_head, an hlist_head is in its
initialized state when it is all-zeroes, so lockdep is ready for operation
immediately upon boot - lockdep_init() need not have run.
The patch will also save some memory.
Probably lockdep_init() and lockdep_initialized can be done away with now.
