+          With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit.
+          Before enabling this option, arch code must be audited
+          to ensure there are no races in concurrent read/write of
+          cputime_t. For example, reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on
+          some 32-bit arches may require multiple accesses, so proper
+          locking is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.
