>From a Linux distributor viewpoint, it would be nice if this was
determined at runtime, rather than at compile time. We generate a single
kernel binary that's used on systems from multiple hardware
manufacturers. We'd run into an issue if one company required this, but
another one didn't. We may potentially run into this same type of issue
with the upstream arm64 defconfig.
