I would favour assert(port == el_port_head(el)); where appropriate.
The intent is that we comment upon the rationale of the GEM_BUG_ON() so
that we have an aide-memoire as to where to begin the hunt. For
triaging, we just need to be able to recognise the same BUG_ON as you
only need to dupe to the first one to catch up with the bug analysis.

We should err on making GEM_BUG_ON() fit the code better than a
potential bug report. We should be reading the code far more often...
