this is the remove-bkl patch's debugging feature showing that there's
more preempt-unsafe disk statistics code in the RAID code.

i've attached a patch that introduces preempt and non-preempt versions
of the statistics code and updates the block code to use the appropriate
ones - does this fix all the smp_processor_id() warnings you get?
