ARCH_HAS_HMM is defined by architecture that support HMM. So par x86
and PPC. It should not be hard to add it to ARM (i can not remember if
ARM has DAX yet or not, if ARM does not have DAX then you need to add
that first).

No they should not be selected, people configuring their system need
to have the freedom of doing so. All those option are selected in all
the big distribution.
