ARM: 7322/1: Print BUG instead of undefined instruction on BUG_ON()
The ARM kernel uses undefined instructions to implement
BUG/BUG_ON(). This leads to problems where people don't read one
line above the Oops message and see the "kernel BUG at ..."
message and so they wrongly assume the kernel has hit an
undefined instruction.
Instead of printing:
Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
print
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
This should prevent people from thinking the BUG_ON was an
undefined instruction when it was actually intentional.
