But thinking more about it. It actually just works with the preempt
count bits independent of PREEMPT_COUNT_IRQFLAGS.

For PREEMPT_COUNT_IRQFLAGS=n, Rust is the only one using it.

For PREEMPT_COUNT_IRQFLAGS=y, the Rust part integrates with the core
implementation. And once all Rust supporting architectures are enabling
PREEMPT_COUNT_IRQFLAGS the Rust extra magic goes away.

No?
