    Enable a fourth level of rcu_node hierarchy for TREE_RCU and
    TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.  This is for stress-testing and experiemental
    purposes only, although in theory this would enable 16,777,216
    CPUs on 64-bit systems, though only 1,048,576 CPUs on 32-bit
    systems. Normal experimental use of this fourth level will
    normally set CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=2, requiring a 16-CPU system,
    though the more adventurous (and more fortunate) experimenters
    may wish to chose CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=3 for 81-CPU systems or even
    CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=4 for 256-CPU systems.
