If a BUG macro is tripped (executed) the kernel oopses. It won't stall
(well, actually it will: forever ;-), but it'll present a message about
what went wrong, along with the C file and line number of the BUG macro,
plus the usual oops output. Think of it as an abort() in kernel space,
but it can't, of course, dump core...yet.
