Is this really serious enough to crash the system? WARN_ON_ONCE() *is* for
things that will never happen.

The only time I ever use BUG() is if it's too dangerous to continue (like a
function graph trampoline that gets corrupted and has no place to return
to). In general, usage of BUG() should be avoided.
