Is this really possible? Without checking the documentation I guess
this is not possible and therefore the WARN_ON() should be removed.

If however this can be possible then this should be turned into a
WARN_ON_ONCE().

...and in addition, if the above would be possible this _could_ copy
random kernel data to user space. Not good.
