[PATCH 1/8] thp, x86: introduce HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE

[Gerald Schaefer]

Cleanup patch in preparation for transparent hugepage support on s390.
Adding new architectures to the TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE config option can
make the "depends" line rather ugly, like "depends on
(X86 || (S390 && 64BIT)) && MMU".
This patch adds a HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead. x86 already
has MMU "def_bool y", so the MMU check is superfluous there and
HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE can be selected in arch/x86/Kconfig.
