I'm not sure if Android (or all targetted) users use or care about
this configuration (CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=n), personally I think
for such configuration we could just fall back to the workqueue
approach all the time.

Anyway, such optimization really comes from real workloads /
experience, users don't live well without such mitigation.
