I thought this check was put in place to catch changes to struct
bug_entry being out of sync with the __BUG macro defined in ARM. Why
can't we include kernel.h instead? Or can you elaborate some more on why
we don't need this check in the commit text?

I thought this check was put in place to catch changes to struct
bug_entry being out of sync with the __BUG macro defined in ARM. Why
