         Enable the raw_spinlock vs. spinlock nesting checks which ensure
         that the lock nesting rules for PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels are
         not violated.
 
+        NOTE: There are known nesting problems. So if you enable this
+        option expect lockdep splats until these problems have been fully
+        addressed which is work in progress. This config switch allows to
+        identify and analyze these problems. It will be removed and the
+        check permanently enabled once the main issues have been fixed.
