This doesn't really provide any context in the WARN_ON itself.  It
will just result in a splat that looks like a kernel oops, and end
users and distribution maintainers will be left scratching their
heads.

Could this be done with a printk warning instead, or could you at
least provide a pr_warn statement to help people understand why their
machine has an oops splat?
