(although you might get some flak about using an ARCH* define. I'm not sure what the current upstream policy is - using an #ifndef default value is the most compact hence sanest thing to do, still it's sometimes being frowned upon in favor of sprinkling the default value into every architecture's processor.h. Putting the value into a Kconfig and combining it with #ifndef might be better.)
