arm64 handles top-down mmap layout in a way that can be easily reused by other architectures, so make it available in mm. It then introduces a new config ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT that can be set by other architectures to benefit from those functions. Note that this new config depends on MMU being enabled, if selected without MMU support, a warning will be thrown.

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
