Yeah, that warning is kind of expected.

Is there a way to tell syzbot to ignore one particular warning?

Because we could certainly turn it into a pr_warn_once(), but
honestly, if a real use case sees this, I'd rather have the bigger

Then we can remove it entirely (maybe in six months or something?)
