Is having this under arch/arm appropriate?  What happens if the API
gets re-used on ARM64 for example?  Would drivers/firmware be a better
cross-arch location for this?

Please move these up along side the other #include - having includes depend
on config symbols is an additional unnecessary source of fragility.

Secondly, please use linux/*.h includes in preference to asm/*.h where the
linux/*.h include picks up the corresponding asm/*.h include.  In this case,
that should be linux/bug.h, not asm/bug.h.
