Julia crafted that "rcu_normal_after_boot = 1" for RT after we had more and more synchronize_rcu_expedited() users popping up. I would like to keep that part (default value) since it good to have for most users.
I don't mind removing CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT part here if there are legitimate use cases for using "rcu_normal_after_boot = 0". Paul suggested initially to restrict that option for PREEMPT_RT and I would follow here Paul's guidance to either remove it or restrict it to NO_HZ_FULL in RT's case (as suggested).
