-config LOCAL_TIMERS
- bool "Use local timer interrupts"
- depends on SMP
- default y
- help
- Enable support for local timers on SMP platforms, rather then the
- legacy IPI broadcast method. Local timers allows the system
- accounting to be spread across the timer interval, preventing a
- "thundering herd" at every timer tick.

# The GPIO number here must be sorted by descending number. In case of
# a multiplatform kernel, we just want the highest value required by the
# selected platforms.
