It would not hurt to check the files that appear in the CFLIST files:

	tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/configs/lock/CFLIST
	tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/configs/rcu/CFLIST

These files drive the torture-test kernel configurations.

That said, yes, there are sometimes some obsolete or deprecated
Kconfig parameters in these files because some systems need them.
