During past review of your series Peter Zijlstra very explicitly told you 
to reuse (and unify with) the preempt checks in lib/smp_processor_id.c! 
See debug_smp_processor_id().

The problem isn't just that you are duplicating code and adding 
unnecessary #ifdefs into the wrong place, the bigger problem is that you 
are implementing weak checks which creates unnecessary raw_*() pollution 
all across the kernel.

Your lack of cooperation is getting ridiculous!

My NAK still stands, obviously.

Thanks,
