I have never encountered a person using CURRENT using a GENERIC kernel.

On the other hand, it might help when people use GENERIC as kernel
template.  However, the real coders probably know the meaning of
INVARIANTS and enable this anyway, and the persons trying CURRENT for
whatever reasons might not know it and just remove it.

I am not really sure there is an added benefit to adding it to GENERIC.
