My new patch has it documented. I even explain when to use the _SMP()
version, which is mainly for !spin_is_locked() as spin_is_locked()
always returns false, and !0 will trigger the warning.

It can also be used to test values that only exist in SMP.

struct foo {
	[...]
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
	int bar;
#endif
};


	WARN_ON_SMP(zoo->bar);

We don't want that zoo->bar even evaluated for that case.
