[PATCH 4/4] Add WARN() function call to hard-soft lockup

[PATCH 4/4] Add WARN() function call to hard-soft lockup

[Jeffrey Merkey]

This patch series adds config options which can be set during compile to
direct the compiler to output a breakpoint instruction anywhere a BUG_XX()
or WANR_XX() 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 in the kernel
where these macros have been previously placed.

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.
