Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/7] preempt: Tune preemption flavour on boot v3

This is a reworked version of what came out of the debate between Michal
Hocko and Peter Zijlstra in order to tune the preemption mode from
kernel parameters, see v2 in:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201009122926.29962-1-mhocko@kernel.org/

I mostly fetched the raw diff from Peter's proof of concept using
static calls + a few cherry picking here and there + some rework from my
end. The result is still not complete, I still need to handle
__cond_resched_lock() and other CONFIG_PREEMPT specifics. And also
some others cleanup patches that were in Michal's series.

Thanks,
