"select HAVE_ARCH_HASH if M68000"?

Or better, move the select to the M68000 section in arch/m68k/Kconfig.cpu.

With my comment above, you wouldn't need this, but I'm gonna comment anyway.

We don't use special GCCs to target specific CPU variants. Hence inside the
kernel, you should check the config symbols, to see if support for 68000 or
68010 (which isn't supported by the kernel yet) is enabled.

Hence the check should be:

    #if defined(CONFIG_M68000) || defined(CONFIG_M68010)

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
