Is so much simpler...

Also, please Cc the virt list so that other interested parties can
comment, and maybe also the s390 folks.

The s390 implementation would be to simply use cpu_is_preempted() from
arch/s390/lib/spinlock.c.
that's great.

It's nice that there will be a common code function for this!
