[Xen-merge] i386's bug.h
Are there any particular reasons why xen/i386 must use a different BUG()
scheme than normal i386, while x86-64 doesn't have such a requirement
(and hence also no specialized bug.h)? It would seem to me that we could
just throw away include/asm-i386/mach-xen/asm/bug.h ...

I think thats my one, IIRC I added that while working on initial PAE
support. It used to be handy when the kernel runs into a BUG() _really_
early, i.e. before installing the fault handlers. Probably doesn't hurt
to simply drop it.

cheers,
