Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] preempt: PREEMPT vs PREEMPT_DYNAMIC configs fixup

Hi folks,

Thanks to suggestions from Mike, Frederic and Marco I ended up with
something that looks somewhat sane and with a minimal amount of crud.

Patches
=======

o Patch 1 is the meat of the topic and could be picked on its own if the
  rest is too icky.
o Patch 2 introduces helpers for the dynamic preempt state
o Patches 3-5 make use of said accessors where relevant.

Testing
=======

Briefly tested the dynamic part on an x86 kernel + QEMU. x86_64_defconfig
gets me:

  Dynamic Preempt: voluntary

and appending preempt=full gets me:

  Dynamic Preempt: full

Revisions
=========

v1: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20211105104035.3112162-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com
v1.5: http://lore.kernel.org/r/20211109151057.3489223-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com

This v2 is completely different from v1, so I felt like I could get away
without writing a version changelog...

Cheers,
Valentin
