and this needs to become
-       if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RCU_BOOST) && !rcu_softirq_enabled)
+       if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RCU_BOOST) && rcu_softirq_enabled)

With this change and hunk that I just sent to Joel I get thee three RCU
modes with and without BOOST booted.

Unless there is something (and Paul agrees that the Joel hunk is
correct) I would post a v3 with those changes included.
