No. If any of those tests fail, we want to stop dead. They'll lead to horrendous bugs throughout the kernel if they're wrong. I think more of the in-kernel test suite should stop dead instead of printing a warning. Would you want to boot a machine which has a known bug in the page cache, for example?
