+ Enable this to generate a spurious interrupt as soon as a shared
+ interrupt handler is registered, and just before one is deregistered.
+ Drivers ought to be able to handle interrupts coming in at those
+ points; some don't and need to be caught.

+ help
+ If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
+ timer routines to collect statistics about kernel timers being
+ reprogrammed. The statistics can be read from /proc/timer_stats.
+ The statistics collection is started by writing 1 to /proc/timer_stats,
+ writing 0 stops it. This feature is useful to collect information
+ about timer usage patterns in kernel and userspace.
