Transparent Hugepages allows the kernel to use huge pages and
Then the build will break for all archs if they enable it, better to
limit the option to those archs that supports it.
Would it be an idea to define ARCH_HAVE_HUGEPAGE in the
arch specific Kconfig file and test against that in
mm/Kconfig ?
I think so, but it would probably be spelled ARCH_HAVE_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
The practice of putting 'depends on X86' in archecture independent
Kconfigs should really be discouraged. It has a real feel of hackyness
to it.
