But there is, we _always_ have a preempt_count, and irq_enter() et al.
_always_ increment the relevant bits.

The thread_info::preempt_count field it never under PREEMPT_COUNT
include/asm-generic/preempt.h provides stuff regardless of
PREEMPT_COUNT.

See how __irq_enter() -> preempt_count_add(HARDIRQ_OFFSET) ->
__preempt_count_add() _always_ just works.

Its only things like preempt_disable() / preempt_enable() that get
munged depending on PREEMPT_COUNT/PREEMPT.
