Adding new BUG_ON() calls is not ok.  That crashes the machine and will
break everyone.  If this really is a potential error that could happen,
then handle it.  If not, then do not even put this there, it's not
needed.

All of the BUG_ON() entries need to be removed in the end from this code
anyway.
