Hi Paul,

I'm fine with this, we try to enable debug options in rawhide in order
to get the most out of bug reports/dmesgs that we can. We've definitely
spotted a lot of lockdep reports by having it enabled for general
desktop use cases (but as debugging has become more intensive, the perf
loss from having it enabled is more costly.)

I suspect we'll be OK with PROVE_RCU off though.

Thanks!

regards, Kyle
