I use the redhat7.1 defconfig to build my kernel, and the RCU config is this:
 120 #
 121 # RCU Subsystem
 122 #
 123 CONFIG_TREE_RCU=y
 124 # CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU is not set
 125 CONFIG_RCU_STALL_COMMON=y
 126 CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING=y
 127 CONFIG_RCU_USER_QS=y
 128 # CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE is not set
 129 CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=64
 130 CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=16
 131 # CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT is not set
 132 # CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ is not set
 133 # CONFIG_TREE_RCU_TRACE is not set
 134 CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y
 135 CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y
 136 CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C=y

Looks fine to me, I will apply this to my branch and test it, thanks.
