Subject: Re: [PATCH] asm-generic: add unlikely to default BUG_ON(x)

Maybe it will be better to move this define out of ifdef, i.e.:

#ifdef CONFIG_BUG
...
-#define BUG_ON()...
...
#else
...
-#define BUG_ON()...
...
#endif

+#define BUG_ON()...

I can prepare a patch if you think it worth it.

Thanks,
Denis
