I don't actually remember what the reason for making ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
depend on MMU was. Maybe it just works if you drop the dependency.

Presumably it's related to ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT and AUTO_ZRELADDR not
working on NOMMU, but if that's the case, we could make it


ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
	bool "Allow multiple platforms to be selected"
	select ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT if !MMU
	select AUTO_ZRELADDR if !MMU

but maybe those actually work without MMU as well. I have never looked too
closely at NOMMU configurations, every time I tried, they were broken in
combination with something else I wanted to enable.
