OTOH, is not like "Use generic BUG() handler" gives the choice of
removing GENERIC_BUG given that it is not prompted in menuconfig and
auto selected, if this is the intention is there any reason to keep
the #else part of /* not CONFIG_GENERIC_BUG */? there is no way we can
use it with this patch, right?

Well, er, the intention is that you use the patch. I kept the old code
around since people can then simply change the Kconfig option and be
back where they were, as indeed you have. I would be happy to remove
the old behavior, but I was concerned about a possible roasting in
this forum. Changing long-established behavior is sometimes tricky.

Yes, but you can't change the Kconfig because it is not prompted with
your patch, if that was the intention then an option to de/select
GENERIC_BUG or not is needed:
