I suspect this needs more work than just enabling checking. Otherwise,
I would have done just that. Depending on the split with an overlay,
we could see strange results.
The requirement in the kernel is overlays be applied to a base tree at
build time (though that is not checked ATM. When we check that result,
we're checking the overlay anyways. Obviously, that's a bit harder to
trace the source of errors, but it is otherwise redundant to check
overlays in addition.
