Is there a sensible way to couple them? I don't see much, except opencode
VM_BUG_ON():

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM) && cond) {
		dump_page(...);
		dump_vma(...);
		dump_whatever();
		BUG();
	}

That's too verbose to me to be usable.

BTW, I also tried[1] to solve this problem too, but people doesn't like
either.
