This?

--- a/lib/bug.c~support-resetting-warn_once-for-all-architectures-v2-fix-fix-fix
+++ a/lib/bug.c
@@ -202,7 +202,7 @@ static void clear_once_table(struct bug_
struct bug_entry *bug;

for (bug = start; bug < end; bug++)
- bug->flags &= ~BUGFLAG_ONCE;
+ bug->flags &= ~BUGFLAG_DONE;
}

void generic_bug_clear_once(void)

And this is getting a bit nutty:

support-resetting-warn_once.patch
support-resetting-warn_once-checkpatch-fixes.patch
support-resetting-warn_once-for-all-architectures.patch
support-resetting-warn_once-for-all-architectures-v2.patch
support-resetting-warn_once-for-all-architectures-v2-fix.patch
support-resetting-warn_once-for-all-architectures-v2-fix-fix.patch
support-resetting-warn_once-for-all-architectures-v2-fix-fix-fix.patch

I'll push all this at Stephen later today. Someone please tell me
whether this code actually works!
