+	  The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
+	  support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
+	  other dependencies to provide in order to make the full
+	  dynticks working.
+
+	  This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
+	  context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the
+	  requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.
+	  Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support
+	  for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
+	  userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime
+	  accounting. This option copes with the absence of the full
+	  dynticks subsystem by forcing the context tracking on all
+	  CPUs in the system.
+
+	  Say Y only if you're working on the developpement of an
+	  architecture backend for the context tracking.
+
+	  Say N otherwise, this option brings an overhead that you
+	  don't want in production.
