At least when testing the kernel. In normal programs pretty much all the dmesg noise would simply be replaced by debug asserts, but in the kernel we try rely hard to not fall over minor inconsistencies.
Still for CI purposes there's not really a difference, hence don't treat it as such. Motivated since once again I've seen a statistics where this was split up, and then a reduction of "failures" (but in reality just trading them in for more "warnings") praised as success. v2: Clamp to "dmesg-fail" to keep dmesg noise easily identifiable (Ville).
