It can be, but I've been resisting doing that because without any 
callers using it will do little but bloat the code of anyone that dares 
enable it.

So my assumption is that when the code to enable PPTT on x86 shows up 
the config option can be moved as well.

How about I meet you 1/2 way, and put it in the acpi/Kconfig but wrapped 
in the arm64 exclusive section?
