From bug.h:
#define BUG_ON(condition) do { if (unlikely(condition)) BUG(); } while(0)
Having at least a small glance at the definition before replying FUD
would have been too much?
Two or three architectures define their own BUG_ON() but, random guess,
only because they can check for the condition and raise an exception
faster than the generic version.
