Add an empty function for warn_on_slowpath() when CONFIG_BUG=n so that
this build error does not happen:

linux-next-20080701/drivers/acpi/utilities/utmisc.c: In function 'acpi_ut_error':
linux-next-20080701/drivers/acpi/utilities/utmisc.c:1028: error: implicit declaration of function 'warn_on_slowpath'

This looks like a needed-in-mainline fix?  or is there something in
linux-next which causes the bug?

Looks like only linux-next has this code:

commit 9e030ab0bffdc8b6d8be663b639bd5e2374537f0
Author: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
Date:   Tue Jun 24 22:47:09 2008 -0400

    ACPI: add standard linux WARN_ON() output to ACPI errors and exceptions
    
    In linux-2.6.27, we expect WARN() with printk semantics
    to become available, and we'll be able to simplify
    this code.

Was there any particular reason for doing it this way?  It's really
quite wrong, given that an architecture can provide its own definition
of WARN_ON() and __WARN() and might not even implement
warn_on_slowpath() at all.

The usual way of doing this is to go in via the front door: WARN_ON(1).
