The below exemples of use of WARN_ON() show that the result is sub-optimal in regard of the capabilities of powerpc.

In addition, this patch also fixes bugs in the BUG_ON(x) macro which unlike WARN_ON(x) uses (x) directly as the condition by forcing it to long instead of using !!(x). This leads to upper part of an unsigned long long being ignored on PPC32 and may produce bugs on PPC64 if (x) is a smaller type like an int.
