arm64 seems to define their own:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/Kconfig#n899

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/mm/init.c#n235

While there are many architectures which have their own pfn_valid();
oddly, almost none of them set HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID ?
