Xen devel - Nov 2006 - BUG() shortcomings

Having run into BUG()s a number of times recently, I realized that other than
on Linux under Xen the register state dumped in this case is mostly unrelated
to the actual registers that were in effect when the macro was invoked. This
is rather unfortunate, as without the register state it usually requires being
able to reproduce the problem after having added extra debug code. Would
it therefore be acceptable to make BUG() work more Linux-like?

Thanks, Jan

Yes, could be handy.
