I think what Arjan is saying is that it would be better to put pressure
on the responsible folks (I don't think Arjan is anywhere near them at
all) if you'd put in a WARN_ON() for this error and that would make the
top entry on kerneloops.org all the time... And additionally put in a
workaround for yourself for now.

And can we keep the flames off this list please? That comment from Wei
Weng was absolutely uncalled for, and inciting a flamewar (as you have
already blogged) was not really productive either.
