No.  If any of those tests fail, we want to stop dead.  They'll lead to
horrendous bugs throughout the kernel if they're wrong.  I think more of
the in-kernel test suite should stop dead instead of printing a warning.
Would you want to boot a machine which has a known bug in the page cache,
for example?
