Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/14] RISC-V: paravirt: Add kconfigs
Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2023 12:33:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230417103402.798596-5-ajones@ventanamicro.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230417103402.798596-1-ajones@ventanamicro.com>

Now that we can support steal-time accounting, add the kconfig
knobs allowing it to be enabled.
