 	  This option provides a kernel module that runs torture tests
 	  on the RCU infrastructure.  The kernel module may be built
 	  after the fact on the running kernel to be tested, if desired.

+	  This option provides a way to build the RCU torture tests
+	  directly into the kernel without them starting up at boot
+	  time.  You can use /proc/sys/kernel/rcutorture_runnable
+	  to manually override this setting.  This /proc file is
+	  available only when the RCU torture tests have been built
+	  into the kernel.
+
+	  Say Y here if you want the RCU torture tests to start during
+	  boot (you probably don't).
+	  Say N here if you want the RCU torture tests to start only
+	  after being manually enabled via /proc.
