The order does matter.
The 'default' properties are accumulated
as they appear.
If arch/Kconfig were parsed before arch/x86/Kconfig,
it would end up with this:
config PGTABLE_LEVELS
int
default 2 <- from arch/Kconfig
default 5 if X86_5LEVEL <- from arch/x86/Kconfig
default 4 if X86_64 <- from arch/x86/Kconfig
default 3 if X86_PAE <- from arch/x86/Kconfig
default 2 <- from arch/x86/Kconfig
So, PGTABLE_LEVELS would be always 2.
The last four lines are dead code.
The correct order is arch/x86/Kconfig, arch/Kconfig
then we can get this:
config PGTABLE_LEVELS
int
default 5 if X86_5LEVEL <- from arch/x86/Kconfig
default 4 if X86_64 <- from arch/x86/Kconfig
default 3 if X86_PAE <- from arch/x86/Kconfig
default 2 <- from arch/x86/Kconfig
default 2 <- from arch/Kconfig
