Unrelated to the other thread : I noticed that compiling this patch
with `allnoconfig` would fail :
- `raw_irqentry_exit_cond_resched` has no previous prototype,
   as it is defined within `#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPTION`
- `irqentry_exit_cond_resched()` is not declared, as it is also within
   `#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPTION`

The patch below fixes the issue, but introduces merge conflicts in
patches 6 and 7, plus the `#ifdef` needs to be moved accordingly
in patch 6 and the empty "without preemption" `irq_exit_cond_resched()`
needs to be removed in patch 7.

I hope this can be useful,
Ada
