This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making
all kernel code (that is not executing in a critical section)

+ This option allows to define the preemption model on the kernel
+ command line parameter and thus override the default preemption
+ model defined during compile time.
+
+ The feature is primarily interesting for Linux distributions which
+ provide a pre-built kernel binary to reduce the number of kernel
+ flavors they offer while still offering different usecases.
+
+ The runtime overhead is negligible with HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE enabled
+ but if runtime patching is not available for the specific architecture
+ then the potential overhead should be considered.
+
+ Interesting if you want the same pre-built kernel should be used for
+ both Server and Desktop workloads.
