+         The lockdep "cross-release" feature needs to record stack traces
+         (of calling functions) for all acquisitions, for eventual later
+         use during analysis. By default only a single caller is recorded,
+         because the unwind operation can be very expensive with deeper
+         stack chains.
+
+         However a boot parameter, crossrelease_fullstack, was
+         introduced since sometimes deeper traces are required for full
+         analysis. This option turns on the boot parameter.
