Subject[PATCH 3/4] x86-32: Remove restrictions on ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE
Date
d949f36f18 (x86: Fix hwpoison code related build failure on 32-bit
NUMAQ) disabled ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE on some 32bit
configurations because the extra page flag usage triggered build
failure when combined with memory section/node bits.

The root cause of build failures depending on config options is
SECTIONS_WIDTH difference depending on X86_PAE. As the previous patch
removes the problem, we can remove the restrictions on MEMORY_FAILURE.

This makes the configuration more consistent. For example,
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE also consumes a page flag but didn't trigger
build failure thanks to the removal of PG_buddy and Kconfig ends up
enforcing rather arbitrary preference for TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE over
MEMORY_FAILURE.
