You can pay attention on 
CONFIG_RCU_BOOST
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_xxx

Also, as mentioned, disabling PM, especially CPU PM is helpful.
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=n
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=n
Note. you can also use CONFIG_GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP
and "nohlt" command line parameter, but you might hit overheating ;)

!!! And, of course, disable most of debug options unless you really need them.
