I did not understand this, in my tree :-

zero_user()
 -> zero_user_segments()

which uses BUG_ON(), the commit log says add VM_BUG_ON(), isn't that
inconsistent withwhat is there in zero_user_segments() which uses BUG_ON() ?

Also, this patch uses BUG_ON() which doesn't match the commit log that says
ADD VM_BUG_ON(),

Did I interpret the commit log wrong ?
