Subject: [PATCH v4 7/8] mm: Hook up Kconfig options for async page table freeing

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

The CONFIG_ASYNC_PGTABLE_FREE option controls whether an architecture
requires asynchronous page table freeing. On x86, this is selected if
IOMMU_SVA is enabled, because both Intel and AMD IOMMU architectures
could potentially cache kernel page table entries in their paging
structure cache, regardless of the permission.
