That won't work for arches that do the ONCE logic with a flag will it?
ie. arm64, parisc, powerpc, s390, sh, x86.
They use the version of WARN_ON_ONCE at line ~64 of bug.h
#define __WARN_ONCE_TAINT(taint)
__WARN_FLAGS(BUGFLAG_ONCE|BUGFLAG_TAINT(taint))
#define WARN_ON_ONCE(condition) ({ \
int __ret_warn_on = !!(condition); \
if (unlikely(__ret_warn_on)) \
__WARN_ONCE_TAINT(TAINT_WARN); \
unlikely(__ret_warn_on); \
})
