You don't seem to define ARCH_HAS_READ_CURRENT_TIMER
or calibrate_delay_is_known(), so it appears that you are
measuring the loops per jiffy. Since you are using a
cycle counter for your delay loop, you should be able
to just set the value directly instead.

GENERIC_IOMAP is something you should normally not
set, it is a bit misnamed and not at all generic ;-)

There has been some discussion about removing traditional
sparsemem support in favor of just using SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP,
which is simpler and more efficient on 64-bit architectures.
You should probably have a look at that.

Do you have a use case for turning SMP off in practice?
Non-SMP kernels can be a little more efficient, but it's
getting rare these days to actually have systems with
just one CPU.

There is now a generic CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE and CONFIG_PAGE_SHIFT
setting, so you can remove the custom ones and just use
'select HAVE_PAGE_SIZE_4KB'

You seem to have more entries here than necessary, e.g.
clkdev.h and auxvec.h are no longer in asm-generic, and
export.h is deprecated.
