I'm aware of this config item. But still if it's off there must be a
distinction that's provided by this patch. Currently you can build a
kernel for i.MX51 + i.MX53 but IIRC it works on no machine.
When considering ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT there are more SoCs that could be
built into a single image and so needs a more complicated logic.
And I don't want to depend on ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT (yet), e.g. because
it's new and still depends on EXPERIMENTAL.

Best regards
Uwe
