Previously, it was much more consistent, which I like better. And only
because of the simple BUILD_BUG_ON()? :/

Alternative is to move all of them into a central place, something like
in twsk_build_assert() or __mld2_query_bugs[].

nope. that defeats the purpose of bug_on.

Well, it doesn't. ;) It throws a build error thus the user is forced to
investigate that further.

according to this distorted logic all build_bug_on can be in one file
across the whole tree, since 'user is forced to investigate' ?!

also note that this case and twsk_build_assert are different.
twsk_build_assert has no other choice then to have one function
that covers logic in the whole file, whereas in this patch:
+               BUILD_BUG_ON(FIELD_SIZEOF(struct sk_buff, mark) != 4);
+               *insn++ = BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_W, dst_reg, src_reg,
+                                     offsetof(struct sk_buff, mark));

the build_bug_on protect the line directly below.
Separating them just doesn't make sense at all.
