At work we are struggling with a whopping 500,000+ (!) WARN backtraces
_each day_. I would be happy if you send me patches removing some of
those, but I am not inclined to accept patches adding them. If people
don't notice that the driver doesn't load, they won't notice the warning
either, and it will just add to all the other warning backtrace noise.
