hmmmm. Why this change?
Was getting a compilation error when I was using WARN_ON as a conditional
in an if statement regarding the return value. So removed the loop. This
looks similar to Linux now.

This should belong to a separate patch with a commit message explaining why the 
change.

Agreed. Since this is more of a Linux compat function, I do not want to change 
the system-wide behavior. I will move this in the IORT code.

I don't see any reason to keep this implementation only for IORT. It would be possible to have similar construction in Xen.

So I would first try to see if maintainers would be willing to accept a system-wide change before thinking to re-implement WARN_ON in IORT.

Cheers,
