[PATCH 1/4] Add BUG() debugger entry points

[Jeffrey Merkey <jeffmerkey@gmail.com>]

This patch series adds a config option which can be set during compile to
direct the compiler to output a breakpoint instruction anywhere a BUG()
macro has been placed in the kernel to trigger the system to enter a
debugger if a bug is detected by the system.  Use of this compile time
option also allows conditional breakpoints to be set anywhere in the
kernel.

This addition is extremely useful for debugging hard and soft lockups
real time and quickly from a console debugger, and other areas of the
kernel.
