Actually, I think what we want to use is static_assert().  The intention in
userland C is that _Static_assert() is an internal keyword and <assert.h>
adds static_assert() as an alias, similar to <stdalign.h> defining alignas,
etc.  I think what we should do for the kernel is have <sys/systm.h> define
map static_assert to _Static_assert and replace existing _Static_assert
usage with the proper spelling.
