+ * - bits 0-7 are the preemption count (max preemption depth: 256)
+ * - bits 8-15 are the softirq count (max # of softirqs: 256)
+ *
+ * The hardirq count can be overridden per architecture, the default is:
+ *
+ * - bits 16-27 are the hardirq count (max # of hardirqs: 4096)
+ * - ( bit 28 is the PREEMPT_ACTIVE flag. )
