+	  This option allows to define the preemption model on the kernel
+	  command line parameter and thus override the default preemption
+	  model defined during compile time.
+
+	  The feature is primarily interesting for Linux distributions which
+	  provide a pre-built kernel binary to reduce the number of kernel
+	  flavors they offer while still offering different usecases.
+
+	  The runtime overhead is negligible with HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE enabled
+	  but if runtime patching is not available for the specific architecture
+	  then the potential overhead should be considered.
+
+	  Interesting if you want the same pre-built kernel should be used for
+	  both Server and Desktop workloads.
