[PATCH] consolidate PREEMPT options into kernel/Kconfig.preempt

Browse Source 
This patch consolidates the CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL
preemption options into kernel/Kconfig.preempt.  This, besides reducing
source-code, also enables more centralized tweaking of preemption related
options.

config PREEMPT
bool "Preemptible Kernel"
help
This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
under load.
Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.
config PREEMPT_BKL
bool "Preempt The Big Kernel Lock"
depends on PREEMPT
default y
help
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making the
big kernel lock preemptible.
Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop system.
Say N if you are unsure.
