The current accessors are asm volatile meaning that the compiler cannot
optimise multiple requests for the value of these registers. Once
smp_processor_id() is switched to using these registers, this is
suboptimal. The Processor ID component of the register is constant, so
__read_const_32bit_c0_register / __read_const_64bit_c0_register can be
used to fetch the constant value and allow the compiler to optimise
multiple fetches. Barriers enforced by preempt_enable() ensure a re-read
of the register after preemption, when the running CPU may have changed.
