Hmm. There may be times when generating a warning is problematic (e.g. could be a POLA violation that breaks scripting if you alter the output of utilities). Other cases like device drivers are easier to reason about (just add a new device_printf during attach), but gdb/kgdb might be more problematic due to POLA. -- John Baldwin
