Or not. Now I remember why I added that in the first place:

In file included from ./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:7:0,
from net/core/dev.c:75:
net/core/dev.c: In function 'netdev_stats_to_stats64':
include/linux/compiler.h:484:20: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_7263' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: sizeof(*stats64) != sizeof(*netdev_stats)
prefix ## suffix(); \
^

Things are actually hard-wired to require that addition at the moment, or
you get the above build failure. Not sure if it's safe to remove that
BUILD_BUG_ON() yet, haven't looked closely, it's past my bed time. :)
