But how do we get there? The majority of architectures define BUG()
already, but a lot of them only if CONFIG_BUG is enabled. That is
of course trivial do change, and it is what my older patch does
for ARM and x86.

We also have seven architectures without a BUG() implementation (c6x,
m32r, meta, microblaze, score, sh, unicore32) and six more (arm64,
hexagon openrisc tile um xtensa) that have no bug.h at all.
