If everything goes right, it shouldn't really matter if we are spitting
this warning after css_alloc or css_online. If we fail between then,
there are some ill cases where we would previously see the message and
now we won't (like if the files fail to be created).

I believe it really shouldn't matter: this message is intended in spirit
to be shown when creation succeeds, but with insane settings.
