[PATCH] make powerpc BUG_ON() OK with pointers and bitwise

Since powerpc insists on printing the _value_ of condition
and on casting it to long...  At least let's make it a force-cast.

We don't _print_ the value of the condition, we give it to a
conditional-trap instruction which will trap if it is non-zero.

and on casting it to long...  At least let's make it a force-cast.

The long cast is to make sure it's sign-extended to the full register
width.  Adding __force looks fine.
