Nice!

Given this should never happen and only a future kernel developer
might trip over it, do we really need to kill that developer's
machine? I.e. s/BUG/WARN/? I guess an argument can be made to move
such a change that to a follow-on patch since you're just preserving
existing behavior, but I figure might as well address these as the
code is refactored.

Perhaps:

    if (WARN_ON(...))
        return -EINVAL;

?? Isn't that a nop?
