See BUG_ON() definition:

#ifndef HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON
#define BUG_ON(condition) do { if (unlikely(condition)) BUG(); } while (0)
#endif

where HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON is defined only on powerpc and mips. It makes
good sense, you don't want to BUG_ON() on a condition unless it's
extremely unlikely. (Except for debugging purpose but even then you
don't really care about fine optimization when you are going to oops.)
