+          This option causes RCU to attempt to accelerate grace periods
+          in order to allow the final CPU to enter dynticks-idle state
+          more quickly.  On the other hand, this option increases the
+          overhead of the dynticks-idle checking, particularly on systems
+          with large numbers of CPUs.
