typo in the x86_64 change, fix below. (i've also attached a respun full
patch)

this patch consolidates the CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL
preemption options into kernel/Kconfig.preempt. This, besides reducing
source-code, also enables more centralized tweaking of preemption
related options.
