I ran into this issue while debugging an early boot problem.
The system hit a BUG_ON() but report bug failed to print the
line number and file name. The reason being that the system
was running in real mode and report_bug() searches for
addresses in the PAGE_OFFSET+ region

It might be a little better to do this:

		bugaddr = regs->nip;
		if (REGION_ID(bugaddr) == 0 && !(regs->msr & MSR_IR))
			bugaddr += PAGE_OFFSET;

It is possible to execute from addresses with the 0xc000... on top in
real mode, because the CPU ignores the top 4 address bits in real
mode.

Paul.
