I think that's the responsibility of the architecture and doesn't 
deserve a WARN_ON() in generic code.

The generic code cannot check all what architectures do wrong.

Eventually you can do some testing at startup, maybe with 
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE, but I don't think we should have such 
verification in functions like check_heap_object()
