Looking at this, I think BUILD_BUG_ON() should be defined in a way that allows it to be used outside of function scope too (see patch below, compile-tested).
Nikita. -- Fix comment describing BUILD_BUG_ON: BUG_ON is not an assertion (unfortunately).
Also implement BUILD_BUG_ON in a way that can be used outside of a function scope, so that compile time checks can be placed in convenient places (like in a header, close to the definition of related constants and data-types).
