Distro kernels tend to be moving to VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, and there is not much reason why PPC64 should be special here. Remove the special case and make the ppc64 and pseries defconfigs use GEN accounting (others will use TICK, as-per Kconfig defaults). VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE does provide scaled vtime and stolen time apportioned between system and user time, and vtime accounting is not unconditionally enabled, and possibly other things. But it would be better at this point to extend GEN to cover important missing features rather than directing users back to a less used option.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
