this can be done in an even lazier fashion, via a ~5 lines patch.

Just add FLAT_RCU as the new kconfig method, and make CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU 
mirror it via something like:

  config CLASSIC_RCU
  bool
  default FLAT_RCU

that makes your patch only affect the Kconfig file - and makes it easily 
revertable, etc.
