Let's print a warning similar to in arch_add_linear_mapping() instead of
WARN_ON_ONCE() and eventually crashing the kernel.

I guess the fear is to panic on systems that do have panic_on_warn (not
sure how many productions systems have this out there).

Exactly.

But anyway, being coherent with that, I think you should remove the WARN_ON
in hash__remove_section_mapping as well.

Thanks, I'll add a patch doing that.

Not sure if the functions below that also have any sort of WARN_ON.
native_hpte_removebolted has a VM_WARN_ON, but that is on
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM so does not really matter.

Right. Thanks!
