+ rcu_nocbs= [KNL,BOOT]
+ In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y, set

+ Invocation of these CPUs' RCU callbacks will
+ be offloaded to "rcuoN" kthreads created for

+ Rather than requiring that offloaded CPUs

+ This improves the real-time response for the
+ offloaded CPUs by relieving them of the need to
+ wake up the corresponding kthread, but degrades
+ energy efficiency by requiring that the kthreads
+ periodically wake up to do the polling.
