According to the comments:

                 /*
                  * Don't allow the user to think they can get
                  * full NO_HZ with this machine.
                  */

I guess this WARN is just supposed to notify user that two feature are 
conflict.

I'm not sure whether this is the right way, may be declaim while making 
config will be better, but consider that nohz could also be enabled by 
boot option, may be this is a good way...

Michael Wang
