Hi all,

This series aims to enable PT_RECLAIM on all 64-bit architectures.

On a 64-bit system, madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) may cause a large number of empty PTE
page table pages (such as 100GB+). To resolve this problem, we need to enable
PT_RECLAIM, which depends on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE.

Therefore, this series first enables MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE on all 64-bit
architectures, and finally makes PT_RECLAIM depend on MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE
&& 64BIT. This way, PT_RECLAIM can be enabled by default on all 64-bit
architectures.

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,
Qi
