preemptible() may not work here because it always returns 0 for
non-preemptible kernel.

#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT
# define preemptible()  (preempt_count() == 0 && !irqs_disabled())
# define IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET (HARDIRQ_OFFSET-1)
#else
# define preemptible()  0
# define IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET HARDIRQ_OFFSET
#endif
