I guessed you wanted the arch_remap() prototype to be exposed somewhere
in the code.
To be honest, I can't find the benefit of defining a dummy arch_remap()
in mm/remap.c if __HAVE_ARCH_REMAP is not defined instead of calling it
in move_vma if __HAVE_ARCH_REMAP is defined.
Is it really what you want ?
Thanks,
Laurent.
