The symbol we use on other platforms is CONFIG_COMPAT. I don't think you
need to have a separate CONFIG_AARCH32_EMULATION

I think we're better off not defining this function. My guess is that
initially the idea on ARM was that it was meant as a BUILD_BUG_ON
replacement, but the someone added this function. And you copied it.

Microblaze has the same declaration, but (correctly) misses the
definition, which produces a much more helpful link failure than
a run-time BUG(). Using BUILD_BUG_ON would be even better.
