+ This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making certain
+ RCU sections preemptible. Normally RCU code is non-preemptible, if
+ this option is selected then read-only RCU sections become
+ preemptible. This helps latency, but may expose bugs due to
+ now-naive assumptions about each RCU read-side critical section
+ remaining on a given CPU through its execution.
+
+ Say N if you are unsure.
