Since commit d41e6858ba58 ("MIPS: Kconfig: Set default MIPS system type as generic") switched the default platform to the "generic" platform, allmodconfig has been failing with the following linker error (among other errors): arch/mips/kernel/vpe-mt.o In function `vpe_run': (.text+0x59c): undefined reference to `physical_memsize' The Lantiq platform already worked around the same issue in commit 9050d50e2244 ("MIPS: lantiq: Set physical_memsize") by declaring physical_memsize with the initial value of 0 (on the assumption that the actual memory size will be hard-coded in the loaded VPE firmware), and the Malta platform already provided physical_memsize. Since all other platforms will fail to link with the VPE loader enabled, only allow Lantiq and Malta platforms to enable it, by way of a SYS_SUPPORTS_VPE_LOADER which is selected by those two platforms and which MIPS_VPE_LOADER depends on. SYS_SUPPORTS_MULTITHREADING is now a dependency of SYS_SUPPORTS_VPE_LOADER so that Kconfig emits a warning if SYS_SUPPORTS_VPE_LOADER is selected without SYS_SUPPORTS_MULTITHREADING.
