Right. Otherwise the message could be even more useful.

Correct.

This text is fine for me.
Just the both of these pr_warn's wouldn't fit into the 80 characters limit.
I tried to think out something more descriptive within this limit, but
gave up soon.

Let me post the v2.1 of this single patch with the longer warning message.
Then the maintainers could probably merge whatever they prefer.
Or I could post the v3 of the whole patchset if the [PATCH v2.1 1/3]
gets positive feedback.

Thanks,
Andrey
