If you fix the issue below, then you may add

This would double-free the value if `assume_init_drop` panics. I know 
that we configure panics to abort the kernel, but someone could copy 
this into another codebase and then they would have this issue.

You can fix it by setting `this.1` to false *before* calling 
`assume_init_drop`.
