         Enable the raw_spinlock vs. spinlock nesting checks which ensure
         that the lock nesting rules for PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels are
         not violated.

         NOTE: There are known nesting problems. So if you enable this
         option expect lockdep splats until these problems have been fully
         addressed which is work in progress. This config switch allows to
         identify and analyze these problems. It will be removed and the
         check permanently enabled once the main issues have been fixed.

         If unsure, select N.
