Not applied.  Changing this from a BUG() to a panic() is wrong.
BUG() kills the current execution context, and allows the system
to potentially continue.  Panic() takes down the entire machine.

The !CONFIG_BUG BUG() definition should be marked in such a way
that gcc thinks it is noreturn.  Otherwise BUG() isn't really
BUG() anymore.  The other option is to never allow BUG to be
disabled or have it always evaluate to a simple bug trap.
