This whole comment strikes me as somewhat dishonest, as at the time David
Rientjes wrote it, he knew that there were dependencies on these symbols in
the linux-next tree.

Now we can add these:
+#define HPAGE_SHIFT    ({ BUG(); 0; })
+#define HPAGE_SIZE     ({ BUG(); 0; })
+#define HPAGE_MASK     ({ BUG(); 0; })

Hell no.

We don't do run-time BUG() things. No way, no how.

If that #define cannot be used, then it damn well shouldn't be defined at all.

David's patch is clearly the right thing to do. Don't try to send me
the above kind of insane crap.


Ok Linus, for you I would recommend against running this git command on your tree:

git grep -E '#define.+BUG\(\);'

It's not like there isn't precedence.
