Ehe... and this is the reason why: The code was added by this patch:

commit 0e3638d1e04040121af00195f7e4628078246489
Author: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us•ibm.com>
Date:   Thu Mar 16 17:30:16 2006 -0800

    warn when statically-allocated kobjects are used

..which only exists in -next. Is that just a truly ancient patch, or
did somebody forget to adjust their clock?

(Stephen: Maybe this has been answered before, but what's the best way
to figure out where it came from?)
