CONFIG_PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y

CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y

is what I have, and qemu cmdline is

qemu-system-ppc64 \
-nodefaults \
-chardev stdio,id=STDIO0,signal=off,mux=on \
-device spapr-vty,id=svty0,reg=0x71000110,chardev=STDIO0 \
-mon id=MON0,chardev=STDIO0,mode=readline \
-nographic \
-vga none \
-enable-kvm \
-m 512M \
-smp 2 \
-kernel ./vmldbg \
-machine pseries


(unrelated) I wonder how/why PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS work when PREEMPT_NONE=y 
:-/ I have a crash in a KVM preempt notifier with such config.
