The answer is not to start scattering lots of .c files with linux/bug.h
includes, but to fix linux/kernel.h.

Hi Russell,

I understand your concerns, and had I found myself "buggering" lots
of .c files, I would have backed away and said to myself, "OK, this
really isn't going to work - we really can't do this."

But to put some metrics to it, after building for about 10 different
arch and all their defconfigs, I only had to change about twenty[1] of
the approximately sixteen thousand .c files in the kernel.

I think there's more than that - I've seen two reports for other
files which have needed fixing so far, and I wouldn't be surprised if
there's more.

I guess we'll see in coming weeks how it pans out, but my gut feeling
is that this is going to cause a fair number of build problems.
