Re: [PATCH v3 0/2] Stop some of the abuse of BUG() where compile timechecks should be used.

Btw, would it possibly make sense to make the string more useful?

For example using __FILE__ and __LINE__, or possibly letting the user
of the BUILD_BUG() give a string ("Using HMASK without
CONFIG_HUGEPAGE").

Whatever. It's bikeshedding - what would probably be more important
would be to get this into linux-next so that we find out whether there
are any compile issues with it on other platforms or compiler
versions.
