SubjectRe: [PATCH] bug: Fix CONFIG_BUG=n BUG_ON()

Hello Josh,

I wasn't aware that the current behavior of BUG_ON() with CONFIG_BUG=n
was intentional. The reason I started looking into this is because
different compiler warnings are generated for code with BUG_ON(1)
statements when building against a kernel with CONFIG_BUG=y or
CONFIG_BUG=n. There is an easy alternative though: changing BUG_ON(1)
into BUG() in my code.

Bart.
