Just to complete this nice new entry to Documentation/sched/: in
PREEMPT=FULL there's also IRQ-return driven preemption of kernel-mode code,
at almost any instruction boundary the hardware allows, in addition to the
preemption driven by regular zero transition of preempt_count in
syscall/kthread code.

Thanks,
