I'm not sure you need to test @op above since you set @op on the line
above, just use true/1 to simplify things.  It also seems like it
might be helpful to provice some context for the enum above in the
WARN() message.  For example:

  WARN(1, "no rule setup for kernel_read_file %d", id);

See my comments in ipe_kernel_read_file(), they also apply here.
