From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mcken...@linaro.org>
Currently, the only way to specify no-CBs CPUs is via the rcu_nocbs
kernel command-line parameter. This is inconvenient in some cases,
particularly for randconfig testing, so this commit adds a new
RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT kernel configuration parameter. Setting this
new parameter to zero (the default) retains the old behavior, setting
it to one offloads callback processing from CPU 0 (along with any
other CPUs specified by the rcu_nocbs boot-time parameter), and setting
it to two offloads callback processing from all CPUs.
