How about just turning off SMAP checking for the really odd cases?

At some point it's not worth worrying about excessive debug
infrastructure, I think. Just give up and say "ok. we'll save/restore
in preempt_schedule()".

Or just make preempt_schedule() check AC and not schedule. It already
does that for IF.
