Hi Guenter,

a minor nit from my side: this change results in a Kernel doc warning.

     .../bug.h:29: warning: expecting prototype for _EMIT_BUG_ENTRY(). Prototype was for HAVE_BUG_FUNCTION() instead

Perhaps either the new code should be placed above the Kernel doc,
or scripts/kernel-doc should be enhanced?
