Hmm, Yes, Daniel suggested this on IRC. I would have gone for the 
fallback which he didn't like, and I think crashing the kernel with a 
BUG_ON in an interrupt which from experience might result in a 
completely silent hang without a trace of what went wrong unless 
possibly with a serial console is not really acceptable either.... 
Perhaps we can go for a WARN_ON + fallback, which still forces the 
caller to come up with something else...
