[Bug 1252353] [NEW] CONFIG_BUGVERBOSE should be enabled (=y) to ensure BUGs produce the line information needed

 

Public bug reported:

We seem to have lost CONFIG_BUGVERBOSE somewhere along the line which
stops us getting accurate line/file information when a BUG is tripped.
This adds 70-100K to the kernel which seems very little for what it
gives us in debuggability.
