What? function *must* take any value and try to access it and not
cause failure. That's the *whole* purpose of that interface. How is
having incomplete spurious checks around it "clean code" in any sense
of the word? That doesn't make any sense.

and *please* don't add any checks like that anywhere else in the
kernel.

Thanks.
