Btw., being a 'triage center' is the bane of APIs that are overly successful,
so we should take that burden with pride! :-)
Lockdep (and the scheduler APIs as well) frequently got into such situations as
well, and we mostly solved it by being more informative with debug splats.
I don't think a kernel API should (ever!) stay artificially silent, just for
fear
of flagging too many problems in other code.
Thanks,
