This patch enables NO_HZ_IDLE (idle dynamic ticks) and HIGH_RES_TIMERS (hrtimers) in RV32 and RV64 defconfigs. Both of the above options are enabled by default for architectures such as x86, ARM, and ARM64. The idle dynamic ticks helps use save power by stopping timer ticks when the system is idle whereas hrtimers is a much improved timer subsystem compared to the old "timer wheel" based system. This patch is tested on SiFive Unleashed board and QEMU Virt machine.

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.
