cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

The commit mis-placed the !ASSEMBLY block, mixing it with the 
CONFIG_BUG section.

Hiding an #include <kernel.h> deep inside a generic header is in 
pretty bad taste anyway, it creates kconfig dependent breakages 
and makes it harder to untangle header files.

The patch below fixes most of the bad effects for me on x86, but 
I have not tested the PowerPC cross-build yet.
