In this case, rather than BUG_ON, it would be better (somehow) to abort
optimisation and instead patch in a branch to the actual condition check.

You could make the code more concise by limiting your patching ability to
branch immediates. Then a nop is simply a branch to the next instruction (I
doubt any modern CPUs will choke on this, whereas the architecture requires
a NOP to take time).
