It might not be too useful for nfs but Colin has a patchset spreading the use of the freezable schedules in a number of places in an attempt to reduce freeze latency for android, which includes introducing a lot of schedule_*_freezable() constructs, so I think we need these warnings one way or the other so that we don't end up with more problems like nfs currently has.
Thakns.
