seems like this is making arches duplicate a bit of logic they shouldn't have 
to ... you could have asm-generic/bug.h do:

#ifdef arch_annotated_bug_fail

extern const void __arch_annotated_bug;
# define ARCH_ANNOTATED_SYM_STR CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX"__arch_annotated_bug"

# define arch_annotated_bug(desc) \
	do { \
		asm volatile(".globl " ARCH_ANNOTATED_SYM ";\n" \
			ARCH_ANNOTATED_SYM_STR":\n"); \
		arch_annotated_bug_fail(desc) ; \
		unreachable(); \
	} while (0)

# define is_arch_annotated_bug(regs) \
	({ (instruction_pointer(regs) == &__arch_annotated_bug) ? \
		(struct annotated_bug *)arch_annotated_bug_struct(regs) : \
		NULL; })

#endif

so now arches have to define two small bits.  in the x86 case:
#define arch_annotated_bug_fail(desc) asm volatile("ud2;" : : "d" (desc))
#define arch_annotated_bug_struct(regs) (regs)->dx
