[PATCH 3/3] mm: Introduce HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE

From: Will Deacon
Date: Tue Sep 11 2012 - 12:47:54 EST


From: Steve Capper <steve.capper@xxxxxxx>

Different architectures have slightly different pre-requisites for supporting
Transparent Huge Pages. To simplify the layout of mm/Kconfig, a new option
HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is introduced and set in each architecture's
Kconfig file (at the moment x86, with ARM being set in a future patch).
