We intend to merge the s390 variant also for v4.10. Our approach has
changed however: we came to the conclusion that having a per-cpu preempt
count will generate better code on s390; so Martin implemented that.

And while being at it he also moved the rest of the s390 specific stuff out
of our struct thread_info. The corresponding patches will be pushed to

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git features

branch soon.

In result we will have a struct thread_info that only contains the flags
field like x86 does.
So we don't depend an any other patches anymore...
