I'm a bit puzzled by the macro name. The name ARCH_WARN_ASM suggests 
that it is used for warnings like WARN() and/or WARN_ON(). Which means 
it should include flags BUGFLAG_WARNING and BUGFLAG_TAINT(TAINT_WARN).

Also I have the feeling that it only handles WARN().
WARN_ON() seems to have been forgotten.
