Tried to add preemption checks but the basic issue is that many of the
checks themselves use this_cpu_ops. percpu.h is very basic to the
operation of fundamental primitives for preempt etc. Use of a BUG_ON needs
a seris of includes in percpu.h that cause more trouble.

If I switch __this_cpu ops to check for preemption then the logic for
preemption etc must use the raw_this_cpu ops.
