I'm not sure what change in behaviour; Lazy is brand spanking new, it
will have new behaviour not in line with previous modes. Just put in the
help text that if you're looking for a reality closer to the old
Voluntary to use PREEMPT_RCU=n.
In reality very few people will care, because distros will be running
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC and the 3 people doing their own thing ought to be savvy
enough to deal with things, no?
