I see, while the user can still check smp_processor_id() after trylock
return bit 0...

But preemption would have already been disabled. That's because a bit 0
means that a recursion check has already been made by a previous
caller and this one is nested, thus preemption is already disabled.
If bit is 0, then preemption had better be disabled as well.

Thanks for the explain, now I get your point :-)

Let's make bit 0 an exemption then.
