This makes no sense.  Multiplatform MMU _requires_ this feature, so why
offer it to the user when multiplatform is enabled _and_ MMU is enabled?

Patch 7817/1 in the patch system tried doing something like you're trying
to do here - I wonder whether you've reviewed the mailing list for
previous discussions.

Given that it's Easter, I'm not going to re-state what I said last time
this came up, but instead leave you to do some research.  For example,
