I'm Ok with that. The change I have issues with is:

-#define __seqcount_lock_preemptible(s) __seqprop(s, preemptible)
+#define __seqcount_associated_lock_exists_and_is_preemptible(s)        __seqprop(s, preemptible)

That's just _realllllllly_ long.

Would something like the below make it easier to follow?

seqprop_preemptible() is 'obviously' related to __seqprop_preemptible()
without having to follow through the _Generic token pasting maze.
