Well Cole brought it up and I intentionally wanted to have the
discussion separate to the shmem changes.

As I said in the mail on patch 2/2 in v1 of this I consider it
"defensive programming" and not strictly required to be removed.
I'm happy and fine to keep the checks as-is since they are not on a
performance critical path.
I agree as you say "in the event of a 'much more serious problem'"
this would be exactly what we want.

I'll withdraw this patch from the series then unless somebody really
shows a reason to why we should drop the checks.
