    When I deprecated /proc/pid/oom_adj (now removed), we did a WARN_ONCE()
    and others complained that this unnecessarily alters userspace scripts
    that a serious issue has occurred and Linus agreed that we shouldn't do
    deprecation in this way. The alternative is to use printk_once() instead.

    This applies to all three patches for this one, 3.0, and 3.2+.
