I see! That's why I couldn't reproduce in any way the warning messages
here (the only two blockdevices that could reproduce them were compaq
smart and dac960). Patch is obviously right, thanks!

Side note (now that the cause of the warning message is known): the waring
messages was harmless and they couldn't cause any fs corruption on disk.
