config PREEMPT
	bool "Preemptible Kernel"
	help
	  This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
	  real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
	  be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
	  This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
	  under load.

	  Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
	  or real-time system.  Say N if you are unsure.

config PREEMPT_BKL
	bool "Preempt The Big Kernel Lock"
	depends on SMP || PREEMPT
	default y
	help
	  This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making the
	  big kernel lock preemptible.

	  Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop system.
	  Say N if you are unsure.
