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.
