+        bool "Classic RCU"
+        help
+          This option selects the classic RCU implementation that is
+          designed for best read-side performance on non-realtime
+          systems.

+config PREEMPT_RCU
+        bool "Preemptible RCU"
+        depends on PREEMPT
+        help
+          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.
