Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 18/24] rcu: Create RCU_EXPERT Kconfig and hide booleans behind it
Date
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit creates an RCU_EXPERT Kconfig and hides the independent
boolean RCU-related user-visible Kconfig parameters behind it, namely
RCU_FAST_NO_HZ and RCU_BOOST. This prevents Kconfig from asking about
these parameters unless the user really wants to be asked.

+ This option needs to be enabled if you wish to make

+ Say Y if you need to make expert-level adjustments to RCU.

+ Say N if you are unsure.
