I think we can do it a lot more tidily.

static void handle_BUG(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	unsigned long eip = regs->eip;
	unsigned short ud2;

	if (eip < PAGE_OFFSET)
		return;
	if (__get_user(ud2, (unsigned short __user *)eip))
		return;
	if (ud2 != 0x0b0f)
		return;

	printk(KERN_EMERG "------------[ cut here ]------------\n");

#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
	do {
		unsigned short line;
		char *file;
		char c;

		if (__get_user(line, (unsigned short __user *)(eip + 2)))
			break;
		if (__get_user(file, (char * __user *)(eip + 4)) ||
		    (unsigned long)file < PAGE_OFFSET || __get_user(c, file))
			file = "<bad filename>";

		printk(KERN_EMERG "kernel BUG at %s:%d!\n", file, line);
		return;
	} while (0);
#endif
	printk(KERN_EMERG "Kernel BUG at [verbose debug info unavailable]\n");
}


OK?
