enablinc NTSYNC in the kernel

hi all
i'm trying to enable ntsync support in kernel 6.10.7 hopefully to improve wine performance
https://lwn.net/Articles/961884/

yet, i cant find the option under device drivers ->  misc, as suggested when i search for the ntsync option
i'm using vanilla kernel
do you know what options does it relies upon

i cant find the BROKEN option either....
anyways, BROKEN is also not present in .config file so i guess it should be ok...

Depending on the deliberately missing BROKEN option disables that config option https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … ada0d5abb4
