Hi,

to preserve the initial goal of helping to uncover id 0 usage I think it
would be best to have the revert be accompanied by a patch that instead
creates a kernel log warning (or whatever).

Since I never did that I suggest to not wait for me.
Also, feel free to do the revert yourself with a different commit
message if mine didn't capture the things appropriately.

Regards,
Kai
