Right, it is dependent.

There is no uniformity for all these across architectures. It has been bit
difficult to get some of these required helpers right (compile and run) on
different platforms.

We can probably replace CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE wrapper with
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. But CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD
explicitly depends on CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE as a prerequisite. Could
you please confirm if the following change on this test will work on ARC
platform for both THP and !THP cases ? Thank you.
