Yeah, this is extremely likely to be the source of the warning.

The warning should be harmless, however.

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from.  Too bad,
lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't
go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace?
The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess
this is the case. Yep, seems like it.

This looks relevant:

I'm attaching a similarly-looking patch for this case (DO_VM86_ERROR),
though I suspect it might be missing for the other cases
(DO_ERROR/DO_ERROR_INFO) as well.
