Out of curiosity, is that a fundamental property or something that
could be optionally be relaxed (for certain linux-next runs only,
perhaps) so that you can continue testing in certain cases where the
"WARNING:" may be harmless (i.e. irrelevant for your particular
fuzzing)?

i.e. I was wondering whether the system could ignore the "WARNING:"s
(and avoid the kernel panicking on them etc.) until after boot, i.e.
when the fuzzing starts.

Cheers,
