+ help
+ Enable the raw_spinlock vs. spinlock nesting checks which ensure
+ that the lock nesting rules for PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels are
+ not violated.
+
+ NOTE: There are known nesting problems. So if you enable this
+ option expect lockdep splats until these problems have been fully
+ addressed which is work in progress. This config switch allows to
+ identify and analyze these problems. It will be removed and the
+ check permanentely enabled once the main issues have been fixed.
