Subject[PATCH] MIPS: Make BUG() __noreturn.
MIPS: Make BUG() __noreturn.

Often we do things like put BUG() in the default clause of a case
statement. Since it was not declared __noreturn, this could sometimes
lead to bogus compiler warnings that variables were used
uninitialized.

There is a small problem in that we have to put a magic while(1); loop to
fool GCC into really thinking it is noreturn. This makes the new
BUG() function 3 instructions long instead of just 1, but I think it
is worth it as it is now unnecessary to do extra work to silence the
'used uninitialized' warnings.

I also re-wrote BUG_ON so that if it is given a constant condition, it
just does BUG() instead of loading a constant value in to a register
and testing it.
