+	  This option provides a kernel module that runs torture tests
+	  on kernel locking primitives.  The kernel module may be built
+	  after the fact on the running kernel to be tested, if desired.

+	  Say Y here if you want kernel locking-primitive torture tests
+	  to be built into the kernel.
+	  Say M if you want these torture tests to build as a module.
