Can we move the CONFIG_CPU_MICROMIPS to here and just call the thing
BRK_BUG?

Or perhaps redefining it unconditionally.  I am not sure what the
implications of doing that would be.

That way...

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.

For any given kernel, BUG() will be implemented using exactly one trap value. That should be the value tested in traps.c

So we could make non-microMIPS use the same value as microMIPS and then we don't have to test for two values.

Side note: The values used only internally to the kernel should not be exported in a userspace visible header file.



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().

  #define BRK_KDB		513	/* Used in KDB_ENTER() */
  #define BRK_MEMU	514	/* Used by FPU emulator */

...We don't need this bit.   Doing an #undef risks using different
values for BRK_BUG depending on whether or not asm/bug.h is
included.

And generally is not very elegant.
