  A quote from from SPARC V9 specification:
  
  The Y register is deprecated; it is provided only for compatibility with previous versions
  of the architecture. It should not be used in new SPARC-V9 software. It is
  recommended that all instructions that reference the Y register (i.e., SMUL,
  SMULcc, UMUL, UMULcc, MULScc, SDIV, SDIVcc, UDIV, UDIVcc, RDY, and
  WRY) be avoided. See the appropriate pages in Appendix A, “Instruction Definitions,”
  for suitable substitute instructions.
  
  Still gcc is generating code which uses Y and some of the instructions above.
  This change modifies the preemptible_handler() to preserve the Y register
  across preemption.
