The problem is that during a fast interrupt handler, we don't acknowledge the
interrupt until we return from the interrupt handler, so if we preempt it may
be a while before we get back to the interrupted process so it can finish the
interrupt handler and ack the interrupt

(there is no NOSWITCH flag in a preemptive kernel, it's automatic and that is
what bit the preemption kernel).
