There are good reasons for the way ARM does stuff.  The generic crap was
written without regard for the circumstances that ARM has, and thus is
entirely unsuitable for 32-bit ARM.

Since we dont have an agreement here, lets just settle with disabling the
test for now on platforms where the build fails. CONFIG_EXPERT is enabling
this test for better adaptability and coverage, hence how about re framing
the config like this ? This at the least conveys the fact that EXPERT only
works when platform is neither IA64 or ARM.

Agreed

config DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE
	bool "Debug arch page table for semantics compliance"
	depends on MMU
	depends on ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE || (EXPERT &&  !(IA64 || ARM))

I think it's maybe better to have a dedicated depends line:

depends on !IA64 && !ARM
depends on ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE || EXPERT

The day arm and/or ia64 is ready for building the test, we can remove 
that depends.

	default n if !ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE
	default y if DEBUG_VM
