Ying's patch adding resource allocation time checks is already in:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=34ddeb035d704eafdcdb3cbc781894300136c3c4
This addresses the log message flood issue.

My own patch with one BIOS bug fixup was accepted by Len Brown and
should go into kernel 3.6:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43282#c25
(Not sure which tree this is.)

So, as far as I am concerned, the functional issue is solved. From a
performance perspective I think we could drop the run-time checks as
they are now redundant.
