Please make the entire comment a C++ one so things look more consistent.

This isn't good...  we should be trying to provide more system level
handling of this, if nothing else it's quite possibly not a software bug
here but rather a hardware failure.  An explicit message about what
happened would be more likely to be understood as a hardware failure,
and something which allows handling such as initiating a system shutdown
would be good as well - I'm not sure if there's any existing mechanism
to plumb userspace into, or perhaps some sort of policy configurable via
sysfs.  That could be built on later though, I think the main thing here
is that the logging should be clearer and distinguishable from a random
software fault which is what BUG_ON() looks like.  The backtrace and
whatnot that BUG_ON() provides aren't useful here and the message isn't
going to be very distinctive, some custom prints will attract more
attention.
