But it shouldn't be too difficult (although I don't know the code) to
put in sanity checks to avoid the error. Like we do have sanity checks
in syscalls only available to root which prevent us from Oopsing. To
take an example of mine, I put in a number of such checks into the
kernel part of CIPE although that is not expected to be called by
anything but its own accompanying driver program, _and_ everything in
there requires UID 0 (or in future versions CAP_NET_ADMIN).
