hm, I suppose that could be useful. Although the choice of which info
to display could be a source of dispute. Why did you choose this info
and omit other things? Perhaps a stack trace could also be useful?

Please avoid using printk_ratelimit(). See the comment at the
printk_ratelimit() definition site:
/*
* Please don't use printk_ratelimit(), because it shares ratelimiting state
* with all other unrelated printk_ratelimit() callsites. Instead use
* printk_ratelimited() or plain old __ratelimit().
