This is a nice unintended benefit of the preemptible kernel patch, eh?
It also helps in your SMP debugging because you can see the lock depth
(how many locks are held) via current->preempt_count. The preempt patch
will also prevent you from infinite looping in the kernel, assuming the
system is able to preempt itself.
