[Xenomai-core] XENO_ASSERT limitation

[Xenomai-core] XENO_ASSERT limitation

Hi,

I noticed and appreciated the new XENO_ASSERT macro. But when looking at
it more closely, I wondered how to express actions like this:

	bail_out("something is broken");
	return -ENOTGOOD;

The "action" parameter is only considering printing. Why not leaving
this part completely in user's hand?
(sorry, no Xenomai checkout at hand, thus no patch)

Ok, albeit I very much dislike macros that could cause weird control flow issues, 
I must admit that limiting the action field in the generic assertion helper would 
be rather arbitrary. The new version avoids this. Thanks.
