 The app_kernel test is used to measure the performance of the following
 kernel objects: message queues, semaphores, memory slabs, mailboxes and pipes.
 
+When the userspace version is selected (CONF_FILE=prj_user.conf), this
+benchmark will execute with four configurations (kernel/kernel, kernel/user,
+user/kernel and user/user). However, any configuration involving user threads
+will omit both the memory slabs and mailbox tests.
