The kmap_local conversion broke the ARM architecture, because the new code assumes that all PTEs used for creating kmaps form a linear array in memory, and uses array indexing to look up the kmap PTE belonging to a certain kmap index. On ARM, this cannot work, not only because the PTE pages may be non-adjacent in memory, but also because ARM/!LPAE interleaves hardware entries and extended entries (carrying software-only bits) in a way that is not compatible with array indexing. Fortunately, this only seems to affect configurations with more than 8 CPUs, due to the way the per-CPU kmap slots are organized in memory. Work around this by permitting an architecture to set a Kconfig symbol that signifies that the kmap PTEs do not form a lineary array in memory, and so the only way to locate the appropriate one is to walk the page tables.
