Do you really need a full backtrace in these cases? From an end user
perspective, they're going to get a popup saying they have a kernel
problem or an automated tool will file a bug for them and they will
have no idea what any of this means.
I understand the need for the check, but could it be done in a way
that doesn't splat an oops on a user's system? The i915 driver has
tons of these kinds of WARN_ONs already and they don't seem to be
helping anything overall...
