Well, ftrace is useful, but when would I *ever* care about this stuff? I
can't operate kunit, don't give a crap about kunit, and if I were to

Cleaned it up a little bit... I'll add some comments on later :-)

I also need to go fix WARN_ONCE(), at least for the n<=2 cases that can
use BUGFLAG_ONCE now.
