Help text

Use a deferrable timer to trigger allocations. This avoids forcing CPU wake-ups if the system is idle, at the risk of a less predictable sample interval.

Warning: The KUnit test suite fails with this option enabled - due to the unpredictability of the sample interval!

Say N if you are unsure.
