The kernel decodes break and trap instruction in traps.c.  For a microMIPS-
enabled kernel it needs to be able to decode both classic and microMIPS
encoded instructions so we want separate symbols.

Or we do something like

#define BRK_MM_BUG	 12      /* Used by BUG() in microMIPS mode */
#define BRK_CM_BUG	512     /* Used by BUG() */

#ifdef __mips_micromips
#define BRK_BUG		BRK_MM_BUG
#else
#define BRK_BUG		BRK_CM_BUG
#endif

This makes the BRK_MM_* / BRK_CM_* macros available for decoding instructions
and the microMIPS-agnostic BRK_BUG for code such as BUG().

And generally is not very elegant.
