This makes sense, I've applied it to the asm-generic tree for now.

Two concerns though:

- adding unlikely() can cause new (usually false-postive) compile time
warnings to show up in random configurations, so we'll have to see what
the build bots think

- Kees Cook has recently sent a series for asm/bug.h that was merged by
Andrew Morton. If there are is a conflict with your patch, it may be better
to merge both through the same tree, either linux-mm or asm-generic.
