Subject: [patch 5/5] PowerPC: switch to generic WARN_ON / BUG_ON

From: Olof Johansson <olof@...om.net>

Not using the ppc-specific WARN_ON/BUG_ON constructs actually saves about
4K text on a ppc64_defconfig.  The main reason seems to be that prepping
the arguments to the conditional trap instructions is more work than just
doing a compare and branch.
