Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/7] preempt: Tune preemption flavour on boot v4

Hi,

Here is a new version of the feature that can select the preempt flavour
on boot time. Note that it doesn't entirely mimic the actual real
config-based preemption flavours, because at least preempt-RCU
implementation is there in any case.

Also there is still some work to do against subsystems that may play
their own games with CONFIG_PREEMPT.

In this version:

* Restore the initial simple __static_call_return0() implementation.

* Uninline __static_call_return0 on all flavours since its address is
always needed on DEFINE_STATIC_CALL()

* Introduce DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_RET0()

HEAD: b5f3b1da9df4197d0b0ffe0f55f0f6a8c838d75f

Thanks,
	Frederic
