BUG_ON is not a way to write assertions into the code.

So you'd rather create exploits than crashing on a fundamental API
violation?  That's exactly what the series is trying to fix.

I'd rather have a sane API that doesn't even allow this level of flexibility with NOFAIL.

But probably I'm missing more details here why this all has to be so complicated ;)
