I think we put it in task_struct because lazy; ARM seems one of the few
popular archs where current still goes through thread_info.

And that I think is the only reason to maybe use thread_info, cost of
access. The down-side of using thread_info is of course that it reduces
stack size.

In any case; I think that if you want to go do this; please consider the
route -rt took and completely separate the two, don't leave the
preempt_count_{inc,dec} remnant in pagefault_{en,dis}able() at all.
