In Linux, in the scheduler function, it check if(!preempt_count() &
PREEMPT_ACTIVE).
How does the ULE scheduler tell if it can preempt the current thread?
Is there an equivalent to the preempt_count() function and the
PREEMPT_ACTIVE macro?

Also, can this information, of a current thread running inside a
FreeBSD virtual machine on bhyve, be accessed from the host?
