For me GENERIC_PTDUMP is more explicit and similar to GENERIC_IOMAP or 
GENERIC_IOREMAP or GENERIC_GETTIMEOFDAY: The arch provides the necessary 
helpers to use the generic implementation.

For me ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP just mean't that an architecture implements 
PTDUMP, it doesn't mean it does it by using the generic infrastructure.

For instance, arm32 implements PTDUMP but without using the generic one 
so I would say that arm32 has PTDUMP and expect it to select ARCH_HAS_PTDUMP
