I am uncertain here: Do you need to DEFINE it? It is set by the sched
core which also defines it. It should be same thing after all, right?

CONFIG_HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC_KEY is the only option, right? Wouldn't

So intend to rework this part. I have patches stashed at
	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bigeasy/staging.git/log/?h=preemption_string

which I didn't sent yet due to the merge window. Just a heads up ;)
