These macros will be used in later patch, where all usage are expected

But to detect unexpected usages, we convert existing BUG() to BUILD_BUG().

Just a heads up that this showed up in linux-next today as the
cause of a new build failure for an ARM board:

Dammit.

http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/5930053/

Site is dead. What was failure, please?

Odd, I just reloaded the above link and it seems alive?
Anyway here is where it goes off the rails.

mm/pgtable-generic.c: In function 'pmdp_clear_flush_young':
mm/pgtable-generic.c:76:136: error: call to '__build_bug_failed' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG failed
make[2]: *** [mm/pgtable-generic.o] Error 1


This is just another instance of:

There was some discussion in that thread of how it might be fixed.
