Raghu please confirm this, but if the defaults were chosen
then we should have:

>> baseline is also PREEMPT_DYNAMIC with voluntary preemption
PREEMPT_RCU=y

>>>> b) patched with PREEMPT_AUTO voluntary preemption.

If this was built with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY then, PREEMPT_RCU=n.
If with CONFIG_PREEMPT, PREEMPT_RCU=y.

Might be worth rerunning the tests with the other combination
as well (still with voluntary preemption).

>>>> c) patched with PREEMPT_DYNAMIC voluntary preemption.
PREEMPT_RCU=y
