Thomas Gleixner 3872c48b14 tick: Document TICK_ONESHOT config option
This option has been selected from arch code as it was assumed that
it's necessary to support oneshot mode clockevent devices. But it's
just a core internal helper to compile tick-oneshot.c if NOHZ or
HIG_RES_TIMERS are selected.

# Timer subsystem related configuration options

# Core internal switch. Selected by NO_HZ / HIGH_RES_TIMERS. This is
# only related to the tick functionality. Oneshot clockevent devices

help
This option enables a tickless system: timer interrupts will
only trigger on an as-needed basis both when the system is
busy and when the system is idle.

bool "High Resolution Timer Support"

select TICK_ONESHOT
help
This option enables high resolution timer support. If your
hardware is not capable then this option only increases
the size of the kernel image.
