good point.

so something like below, perhaps. I'm less sure about
deferred BUG()/BUG_ON():

#define DEFERRED_BUG() do { 		\
	printk_deferred_enter();	\
	BUG();				\
	printk_deferred_exit();		\
} while (0)				\

#define DEFERRED_BUG_ON(condition) do { \
	printk_deferred_enter();	\
	BUG_ON(condition);		\
	printk_deferred_exit();		\
} while (0)

depending on .config BUG() may never return back -- passing control
to do_exit(), so printk_deferred_exit() won't be executed. thus we
probably need to have a per-cpu variable that would indicate that
we are in deferred_bug. hm... but do we really need deferred BUG()
in the first place?
