I think the easy and correct fix for this situation is defining
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SETUP_ADDITIONAL_PAGES on x86_64 only if
IA32_EMULATION is defined. (Because x86_64 proper doesn't seem to
require arch_setup_additional_pages() only IA32 emulation requires
it.)

The patch below should fix it. (Please use attachment - less chance of
whitespace issues. Sorry no control over mail client atm)
