I like the idea of pointing at the documentation. The documentation should
probably emphasize that something is very, very wrong. E.g. if a kernel bug
triggers EREMOVE failure and isn't detected until the kernel is widely deployed
in a fleet, then the folks deploying the kernel probably _should_ be in all out
panic. For this variety of bug to escape that far, it means there are huge
holes in test coverage, in both the kernel itself and in the infrasturcture of
whoever is rolling out their new kernel.
