This seems to me to be a pretty blatant violation of our first message
style guideline [1]:
The primary message should be short, factual, and avoid reference to
implementation details such as specific function names. “Short” means
“should fit on one line under normal conditions”. Use a detail message
if needed to keep the primary message short ...
I think you should leave the primary message alone and add a DETAIL,
as the first version of the patch did.
The existing "invalidating slot" message is already in violation
of this guideline, so splitting off a DETAIL from that seems
indicated as well.
