mm/hmm: add ARCH_HAS_HMM_MIRROR ARCH_HAS_HMM_DEVICE Kconfig
Add 2 new Kconfig variables that are not used by anyone. I check that various make ARCH=somearch allmodconfig do work and do not complain. This new Kconfig needs to be added first so that device drivers that depend on HMM can be updated. Once drivers are updated then I can update the HMM Kconfig to depend on this new Kconfig in a followup patch. This is about solving Kconfig for HMM given that device driver are going through their own tree we want to avoid changing them from the mm tree. So plan is: 1 - Kernel release N add the new Kconfig to mm/Kconfig (this patch) 2 - Kernel release N+1 update driver to depend on new Kconfig ie stop using ARCH_HASH_HMM and start using ARCH_HAS_HMM_MIRROR and ARCH_HAS_HMM_DEVICE (one or the other or both depending on the driver) 3 - Kernel release N+2 remove ARCH_HASH_HMM and do final Kconfig update in mm/Kconfig Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190417211141.17580-1-jglisse@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Cc: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Cc: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com> Cc: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com> Cc: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com> Cc: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
