Ugh.

Is there any reason why we don't just use UD2 and avoid this whole issue?

Do we even *do* anything different for UD0 vs UD2? I see that
'is_valid_bugaddr()' seems to accept either, I'm not seeing anything
that cares.

Yes, yes, we currently use UD0 for warnings, and UD2 for BUG(), but
the fact is, we don't actually seem to care, because the *real*
differentiator is BUGFLAG_WARNING.

No?

So all the UD0 games seem a bit pointless. Let's not use it at all
because it's so badly documented.
