Assertions are useful even in production code unless
you are sure that the code is bug free or the assertions
cost to much resources - either memory or execution time.
I don't think this is the case for QEMU, therefore I'd prefer
having assertions in production code, too. This simply
means undefining NDEBUG before including assert.h.
I don't know what constitutes "production builds" but the software that
most people use in production (normal distributions packages) don't
define NDEBUG.
