Kernel panic on 5.3.1-arch1-1-ARCH

[Nico Schottelius]

... and just updated via the testing repo, everything green on 5.3.4.

On this system I see one error regarding the IPv4 fib table,
which might be due to IPv6 only usage:

[root at diamond ~]# wg-quick up wg0
[#] ip link add wg0 type wireguard
[#] wg setconf wg0 /dev/fd/63
[#] ip -6 address add 2a0a:e5c1:137::137/48 dev wg0
[#] ip link set mtu 1420 up dev wg0
Error: ipv4: FIB table does not exist.
Dump terminated
[#] wg set wg0 fwmark 51820
[#] ip -6 route add ::/0 dev wg0 table 51820
[#] ip -6 rule add not fwmark 51820 table 51820
[#] ip -6 rule add table main suppress_prefixlength 0
[root at diamond ~]# ip a sh dev wg0
5: wg0: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1420 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/none
    inet6 2a0a:e5c1:137::137/48 scope global
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
[root at diamond ~]# pacman -Q | grep wireguard
wireguard-dkms 0.0.20190913-1
wireguard-tools 0.0.20190913-1

As everything work[tm], would it be an option to rename it to a warning
instead?

Best,

Nico
