Problem Description:

Missing config option for preemptable kernel

Steps to reproduce:

*** linux/arch/alpha/Kconfig.old        2003-02-23 12:44:25.000000000 -0800
--- linux/arch/alpha/Kconfig    2003-02-23 12:46:37.000000000 -0800

        default y
  
+ config PREEMPT
+         bool "Preemptible Kernel"
+         help
+           This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
+           real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
+           be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
+           This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
+           under load.
+ 
+           Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
+           or real-time system.  Say N if you are unsure.
+ 
  config NR_CPUS
        int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-64)"
