Re: [PATCH v2 3/5] powerpc: Use preemption model accessors

Per PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, checking CONFIG_PREEMPT doesn't tell you the actual
preemption model of the live kernel. Use the newly-introduced accessors
instead.

sched_init() -> preempt_dynamic_init() happens way before IRQs are set up,
so this should be fine.
Despite the name interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() is called before IRQs
are setup, traps and page faults are "interrupts" here.

So I'm not sure about adding that call there, because it will trigger a
WARN if called early in boot, which will trigger a trap and depending on
the context we may not survive.

I'd be happier if we can make it a build-time check.

cheers
