You should try and remove the wrappers for as many of these as possible.
I know the wrappers are there for portability to other operating
systems, but for mainlining in Linux it makes the code more complex.

Can you use BUILD_BUG_ON?

Y_DUMP_STACK is defined above so this ifdef is useless?

This macro name should possibly be changed since its name implies that
it does the same thing as BUG().
