However, 64-bit configuration also enables ARCH_SPARSEMEM_DEFAULT and there is no ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE in arch/sparc/Kconfig. With such settings, the dependencies in mm/Kconfig are always evaluated to SPARSEMEM=y for 64-bit and to FLATMEM=y for 32-bit. The ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL option in arch/sparc/Kconfig does not affect anything and can be removed.
