I'd rather prefer a oneliner patch that turns it off in the Kconfig
for now.

We are awfully late in the -rc cycle and this diffstat:

b/include/linux/sched.h | 3 ++
b/kernel/rcutree_plugin.h | 6 +++--
b/kernel/sched.c | 44 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-----
b/kernel/signal.c | 19 +++++++++++------
b/kernel/softirq.c | 12 +++++++++-
kernel/rcutree_plugin.h | 51 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------
6 files changed, 105 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-)

looks very scary to me.

Thanks,

Ingo
