It's not exactly beneath it (it's out of the patch context at least). I
think a comment is not strictly necessary, but a better commit message
is and, since you are at it, I would put the BUILD_BUG_ON *before* the
allocation. That makes it more obvious that you are checking the
invariant before allocating.
