Right, so I've been nudging Paul a while to make it so that we always
have preemptible rcu available and that only the default interface
switches between sched/classic and preempt.

Currently we already have:

call_rcu_sched()
call_rcu_bh()
call_rcu() (depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU)

I'm saying it would be nice to also have:

call_rcu_preempt()
