I know that the normal way of doing things has been with
ARCH_SUPPORTS_FOO defined in arch/Kconfig.  But, I really like the
alternate approach because it is so easy to figure out which
architectures support which page sizes with a single glance at the
Kconfig file.  

I can really see putting another layer of indirection in there if things
were too complicated to understand at a glance, but I think they've
remained pretty simple.

Is there any specific reason that you dislike the arch-specific stuff in
mm/Kconfig?

I don't mind creating those other Kconfig options, but I'm not really
sure I see a concrete reason for it, yet.
