Distros may want some hot patching or _something_ before doing the usual
new=turn-it-on thing.  Per trusty (spelled with 'c') old Q6600, the cost

-regress is my ~light regression testing config, carried forward from

-regressx is plus CONFIG_RCU_USER_QS=y CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE=y
-regressxx is plus full dynticks
