Ah, you're saying both should depend on the same thing. I fear there's a
chicken-egg problem in the code as it is now, the asm/math128.h thing
needs the data structure but is also the one setting ARCH_HAS_INT128.

So its not Kconfig.

It cannot, its per the asm/math128.h header to opt-in on using it. This
so archs can make sure gcc doesn't generate broken code or relies on
libgcc for its __int128 implementation.

Now, if we do as Linus suggests and push the data structure definition
into a separate header we could possibly avoid this.
