I believe that Ingo was suggesting to have CONFIG_NO_HZ give options to
what type of config NO_HZ you want. Something like:

config NO_HZ
bool "Enable tickless support"

config NO_HZ_IDLE
bool "Stop tick when CPU is idle"
default y
depends on NO_HZ

config NO_HZ_TASK
bool "Stop tick on specified CPUs when single task is running"
default n
depends on NO_HZ

That is, if you select NO_HZ, by default NO_HZ_IDLE is also selected.
But in the kernel the NO_HZ_IDLE is used.
