    arm: remove ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL · 03069bb0

    Patch series "remove ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL where it has no effect".
    
    For several architectures the ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL has no real effect
    because the dependencies for the memory model are always evaluated to a
    single value.
    
    Remove the ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL from the Kconfigs for these
    architectures.
    
    This patch (of 3):
    
    The ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL in arch/arm/Kconfig is enabled only when
    ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE=y.  But in this case, ARCH_SPARSEMEM_DEFAULT is also
    enabled and this in turn enables SPARSEMEM_MANUAL.
    
    Since there is no definition of ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE in arch/arm/Kconfig,
    SPARSEMEM_MANUAL is the only enabled memory model, hence the final
    selection will evaluate to SPARSEMEM=y.
    
    Since ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE is set to 'y' only by several sub-arch
    configurations, the default for must sub-arches would be the falback to
    FLATMEM regardless of ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL.
