When you have an exception of any rule, this implies that you are
using a suboptimal way of doing things.

Your patches should be independent changes. You cannot say "I'm adding
something iffy here, but it will be fixed with another patch".
Otherwise you'll get developer/user X bisecting the kernel, which will
end up with broken system (flooded dmesg in this case) half way
through the bisect.
