I know that this is intended, but I would like to note that this patch 
reveals the following issue on Raspberry Pi 3B with ARM 32bit kernel 
compiled from multi_v7_defconfig:

---[ end trace 6414689569c2bc08 ]---

This warning is not present when booting ARM 64bit kernel, but I suspect 
that this is due to the differences in the kernel configuration.
