Subject: [PATCH 07/12] housekeeping: Move it under its own config, independant from NO_HZ
Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2017 15:06:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1508850421-10058-8-git-send-email-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1508850421-10058-1-git-send-email-frederic@kernel.org>

Split housekeeping config from CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL. This way we finally
separate the isolation code from nohz.

Although a dependency to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL remains for now until the
housekeeping code doesn't deal anymore with nohz internals directly.
