[PATCH] x86_64: Turn BUG data into valid instruction
This avoids confusing the disassembler. Costs 2 bytes per BUG. Thanks to Suresh Siddha and Jan Beulich for suggesting suitable instructions. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
