Sure thing, I'll clean up the targets and fold the changes into this patch.

Good question. Those symbols are only relevant when tree RCU is
enabled, which is everything except non-preemptible, non-SMP kernels.
We don't enable preemption, so basically these will only be relevant
for SMP devices. That said, I believe moving them to the generic
kconfigs is the right thing to do. Do you agree?

Cheers,
Rui
