+config USE_USER_ACCESSIBLE_TIMERS
+	bool "Enables timers accessible from userspace"
+	depends on MMU
+	help
+	  User-accessible timers allow the kernel to map kernel timer
+	  registers to a userspace accessible page, to allow faster
+	  access to time information.  This flag will enable the
+	  interface code in the main kernel.  However, there are
+	  architecture-specific code that will need to be enabled
+	  separately.
