Sure, but an abort function can be provided to the kernel anyway and the
driver can care about that.

Ok, how?

I think just a sysctl ontop of this series is enough plus a pr_warn.
Rocker and mlxsw are responsible to loop for a maximum amount of time.

Maybe, when the module requests a dump it can also provide a callback
that is invoked following each failed dump?
