Please do not create one variable per arch to enable this functionality.
Define one common variable and name it:
config HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA
and then for the arch's that supports it you select this symbol.
For X86 it would look like:
config X86
+ select HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA
This is the recommended methiond today - albeit not widely used yet.
