Agreed, but sorry for off-topic, can't resist.

Sometimes I hate WARN_ONCE() because you can't reproduce the problem
once again without reboot.

Perhaps WARN_ON_RATELIMIT() should be used more often (not sure about
this particular case). Or, perhaps, we can add a special section for
these "__warned" variables and add, say, sysctl which clears that
section ?

Oleg.
