A yakshave that would be worthwhile is to kill off the macro
compiletime_assert() completely - three is a crowd. It sounds like it
would be implemented in terms of _Static_assert, but it's actually
__attribute__(error). We can fold the definition of compiletime_assert
into BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG.
The users in rwonce.h should just be changed to static_assert, and then
there are very few random users left, which can either be static_assert
or BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG.
Why do we even have a no-op version if !__OPTIMIZE__? AFAIK there's no
CONFIG_O0 option, and such a build wouldn't be interesting at all - it
can't be expected to boot, and it would likely throw warnings left and
right.
