Hi, Anton.
arch/ppc64/Kconfig's entry for CONFIG_PREEMPT is missing the description
after the "bool" statement, so the entry does not show up.
Also, the help description mentions a restriction that is not [any
longer] true.
Patch against 2.6.0-test9.

help
This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
- Unfortunately the kernel code has some race conditions if both
- CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_PREEMPT are enabled, so this option is
- currently disabled if you are building an SMP kernel.
Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.
