/**
 * BUILD_BUG_ON - break compile if a condition is true.
 * @condition: the condition which the compiler should know is false.
 *
 * If you have some code which relies on certain constants being equal, or
 * some other compile-time-evaluated condition, you should use BUILD_BUG_ON to
 * detect if someone changes it.
 *
 * The implementation uses gcc's reluctance to create a negative array, but gcc
 * (as of 4.4) only emits that error for obvious cases (e.g. not arguments to
 * inline functions).  Luckily, in 4.3 they added the "error" function
 * attribute just for this type of case.  Thus, we use a negative sized array
 * (should always create an error on gcc versions older than 4.4) and then call
 * an undefined function with the error attribute (should always create an
 * error on gcc 4.3 and later).  If for some reason, neither creates a
 * compile-time error, we'll still have a link-time error, which is harder to
 * track down.
