WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that
are then worked-around. These bugs do not affect the stability of the
kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN. To allow for this,
add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number
as argument.
Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead
of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint)
instead of __WARN().

Reduces the size of the bug table entries by 50% on 64bit kernels.
Saves around 30kb on a defconfig kernel.
s390 version of b93a531e "allow bug table entries to use relative
pointers (and use it on x86-64)".

This one will trap, generates shorter code and emits better debug data
than the generic version.

Functions which end in a BUG() statement and skip the return statement
cause compile warnings on s390, e.g.:
mm/bootmem.c: In function 'mark_bootmem':
mm/bootmem.c:321: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
To avoid the warning add an endless loop to the BUG() macro.
