I think that thanks to Marco Elver we have a solution for this issue.

However I'd propose a transformation on Marco's solution based on one of the 
De Morgan's laws: !(A && B) <=> !A || !B. 

I think that this is more readable and comprehensible.

Therefore, if I'm not wrong, Marco's "!preemptible()", that is "if (!
(preempt_count() == 0 && !irqs_disabled())", might be rewritten to an easier 
to understand "if (preempt_count() || irqs_disabled())". 

Am I wrong? Let's test it...
