Sorry, I thought this was an acceptable use case since, a) this should
never be compiled in a production kernel, b) we are in a pretty bad,
unpredictable state if we get here and keep going. I think you might
have said elsewhere that you think "a" is not valid? In any case, I
can replace this with a WARN, would that be acceptable?
