I've been considering how we'd implement this for arm64, and I suspect
that we'll also need to fold our preempt_count into task_struct
(following from the style of asm-generic/preempt.h).

As far as I can see, we can't make our preempt-count a percpu variable
as with x86, as our percpu ops themselves are based on disabling
preemption.

To that end, would it be possible to keep the thread_info definition per
arch, even with CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK?

Thanks,
Mark.
