Subject: [PATCH 2/7] nohz: Introduce adaptive nohz config
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:19:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1339604397-8758-3-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1339604397-8758-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>

Prepare a config option for the full adaptive nohz feature.
This way we can start to put the related code under appropriate
ifdefs.
