Hi,

a. It seems backwards (or upside down) to have a test case select a feature (PRMEM)
instead of depending on that feature.

b. Since PRMEM depends on MMU (in patch 04/17), the "select" here could try to
enabled PRMEM even when MMU is not enabled.

Changing this to "depends on PRMEM" would solve both of these issues.

The weird dependency you pointed out is partially caused by the incompleteness of PRMEM.

What I have in mind is to have a fallback version of it for systems without MMU capable of write protection.
Possibly defaulting to kvmalloc.
In that case there would not be any need for a configuration option.

c. Don't use "default n".  That is already the default.

ok
