The point of adding my generic comment was to remove direct
references to supported platforms.

In this case your patch should remove the line specifying supported
platforms (x86, arm, powerpc, etc) and only add the line pointing
the reader to lib/Kconfig.debug.

When a new platform will be supported lib/Kconfig.debug will
be surely modified, and the change will be consistent with
information in kmemleak.txt.

Cătălin, what do you think?

thanks,
Daniel.
