From 801bb21c600161c8626d7d9cb649be869ee4dbbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Austin Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:56:04 +0000 Subject: ARM: mpu: Allow enabling of the MPU via kconfig Allows the user to select MPU support when compiling for ARM processors that support the PMSAv7. This ensures that CONFIG_SMP depends on the MPU in the case that no MMU is present. CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP is not implemented for nommu, so introduce an MMU dependency there.
