It is not the case if CONFIG_BUG and HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON are not set.

Yeah, but that's like the 1% of the cases -- and those probably don't even care
about the branch prediction (I could be wrong). So overall I like getting rid of
explicit BUG_ON(unlikely(... calls. In fact there's a _reason_ why there are so
few of them in the kernel.
