Updated patch attached - I've added a few more features to the last 
table, and restructured the explanations, now every feature 
description also lists the Kconfig variable that it's tracking, e.g.:

      irq time acct: HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING

Regarding that one specifically, as far as I can see, 
HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is only relevant for tick-based time 
accounting.  If you have CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING you get accurate 
irq time accounting with or without HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING.  So 
how about making this one:

	irq time acct: HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING || VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING

That would make the "irq time acct" entry for powerpc be "ok".

Yeah, indeed.

I fixed that, PowerPC now looks like this:

      irq time acct:-------------------------------------------.
                THP:------------------------------------.      |
   gcov profile all:-----------------------------.      |      |
    rwsem optimized:----------------------.      |      |      |
   queued spinlocks:---------------.      |      |      |      |
     queued rwlocks:--------.      |      |      |      |      |
     numa balancing:-.      |      |      |      |      |      |
                     |      |      |      |      |      |      |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
  powerpc         |  ok  | TODO | TODO | TODO |  ok  |  ok  |  ok  |
