The problem is we generally don't know which drivers do that.  I know a few,
but there probably are others.

So, the idea is to allow them to do that for some time, but log error messages
indicating which drivers they are.  These messages will then allow us to fix
the drivers and once they've been fixed, we can apply a (very simple) patch to
change the behavior of the core (this patch will be easy to revert if need be,
whereas I really wouldn't like to be forced to revert the $subject patch by
predictable regressions).

Thanks,
