I'm seeing warnings from the lockdep code itself in recent kernels on a Power6 blade (v2.6.26 and benh's -next branch).
Something to do with powerpc's "lazy" interrupt-disabling, perhaps? A couple of stack traces below, the first is from benh's tree, the second is from 2.6.26. The lockdep self-tests all pass at boot.
