Though it just occured to me that there are dragons lurking:

arch/alpha/Kconfig:     select ARCH_NO_PREEMPT
arch/hexagon/Kconfig:   select ARCH_NO_PREEMPT
arch/m68k/Kconfig:      select ARCH_NO_PREEMPT if !COLDFIRE
arch/um/Kconfig:        select ARCH_NO_PREEMPT

Sounds like three-and-a-half architectures which could be queued up for
removal right behind ia64 ...

The agreement to kill off ia64 wasn't an invitation to kill off other stuff
that people are still working on! Can we please not do this?

If you're working on one of them, then surely it's a simple matter of
working on adding CONFIG_PREEMPT support :-)
