Hi Jisheng

It seems mm maintainers might prefer arch change reviewed by arch
maintainer and goes to arch tree, according to discussion in [1], I
don't have an opinion on this,  adding mm maintainers as FYI.

mm maintainers like to get confirmation that the arch doesn't rely on
remapping the VDSO, VVAR, or any other special mappings, see
discussion in [2]

The "if 64BIT && MMU" are not needed here.

MMU is not checked by MSEAL_SYSTEM_MAPPINGS, which we should,  this
can go to security/Kconfig separately. If you'd like, please submit a
fix to mm tree directly.
