How about introducing a new config symbol representing the common
infrastructure between the two and have them select that symbol.

Would that also allow us to clean up the usage of
CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION in fs/proc/task_mmu.c? In other
words, what's the point of having nice ifdef'd alternatives in header
files when ifdefs are still showing up in C files, all of it should be
optionally determined by header files.
