Hm, so why is there a Kconfig option for this? It just 
complicates things.

For example the kernel already defaults to mapping itself 
with as large mappings as possible, without a Kconfig entry 
for it. There's no reason to make this configurable - and 
quite a bit of complexity in the patches comes from this 
configurability.

Thanks,
