Given this isn't a consistency assertion, a nice temporary mechanism
would be to only warn during boot but panic for instances seen after
that. Perhaps collecting and spamming the early warnings continually too
so they get reported. Then less people are blocked from upgrading or
having to deal with boot panics, and may be able to avoid triggering
other cases.

It's one thing to have INVARIANTS on HEAD and expect everyone to chip in
on that, but another to have a prolonged unstable range of commits.

just my 2 cents,
Bryan
