small note: please always use WARN_ON_ONCE() in such cases. That way 
people's boxes dont blow up and the problem will be debuggable if the 
box survives despite the error condition. (and thus it can be relayed to 
kerneloops.org - all major distros have the package included already and 
Fedora enables the client by default)
