Yeah, sorry about that.  I will point this out in the commit message.

We do, and I just didn't hit that because this goes away at the end of
the series, and I didn't vigurously test every single patch in the
series (just a compile test).

We actually only use the armed flag for the BUG_ON(), and I don't think
we need that check really.  So I suggest simply merging this logic into
this patch:
