Although this appears to be a faithful translation of the assert() to
BUG(), as mentioned by Andrei in his review of 3/4, the existing
assert() seems to have an off-by-1 error, which means that the "> a"
here really ought to be ">= a".
Given that this file is full of assert()'s, it doesn't necessarily
make sense to convert only this one, so perhaps the patch should be
dropped (since I'm guessing you don't want to convert the rest of
them).
