I think IS_ENALBED() is a bit more generic, maybe. here is another 
example in rcutorture.c

which uses IS_ENABLED() to initialize the member in structure:

static struct rcu_torture_ops rcu_ops = {

...

.can_boost = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RCU_BOOST),

...

};

Do you want me to change IS_ENABLED() to IS_BUILTIN()?
