I don't think this ever got fixed. 

I don't see any alternative but just uncomment that bogus warning, because 
it's otherwise going to just cause way more noise than it's worth. It's 
apparently known to developers, and as such it's worthless in the source 
code except as a way to make poor users worry.

It's been in the top oops/warnings report for the last three weeks, and I 
haven't gotten any patches for it, so I'm a bit grumpy. What's the point 
of having a WARN_ON() if nobody involved *does* anything about it?
