I don't think there is. The plain PREEMPT should work. Then need to
follow the checklist for forced-threaded interrupts. Generic code such
as GENERIC_ENTRY makes things easier but at least
HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK is needed with kvm enabled if my memory
serves me right. Everything else is part of generic code.
