the interesting thing is that there is a clear bias on which drivers
are tripping this (r8169 is top when I counted yesterday, with sis900
second and then a long tail of nothing) that I think the WARN_ON() is
useful in addition to the always-there printk. Eg it does help in seeing
which driver is most likely to trigger this.
(Andrew also thought this would trigger a *LOT*, so far it's only a
rather modest amount, but it's waiting for Fedora or others to ship a
kernel with this in to be sure)
