[RFC PATCH] mm: Enable CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM on all architectures

From: Dev Jain
Date: Mon Nov 03 2025 - 01:37:53 EST


The implementation of CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM is completely contained in generic
mm code. It depends on the RCU callback which will reclaim the pagetables -
there is nothing arch-specific about that. So, enable this config for
all architectures.
