Flip the switch. Running around and screaming "IT'S ALIVE" is optional,

That's fine, but at what point do we create
CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_ZONE_DEVICE, replace the "depends on
<archs/platforms>" above with "depends on ARCH_HAVE_ZONE_DEVICE" and
select that from the appropriate places?

You mean CONFIG_HAVE_ZONE_DEVICE :)

A patch to do that, and update x86, would be a good precursor to this
series. It could probably go in right now, and be in place for when this
series lands.
