Hi,

I suspect that mach-netx has never been tested in nommu configurations
(ditto for many of the older platforms, which pre-date merging nommu
support.)

Maybe the best solution is to make these old platforms depend on MMU.

However, I'm wondering whether kexec makes sense for !MMU - that's
probably something that hasn't been tested and doesn't actually work.
So maybe another approach would be to make kexec depend on MMU for
ARM - but I'm afraid I don't really know.

I only have very limited nommu experience.
