Hmm. This sounds a bit vague. It might be better if something
considered a fix is split out to a separate patch with a good
description.

Given that this is an option that is just selected by other Kconfig
options the help text won't ever be shown. I'd just move it into a
comment bove the definition.

I don't think we need the #ifdef CONFIG_MMU here,
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT should only be selected
if the MMU is enabled to start with.

Now that a bunch of architectures use a version in common code
the arch_ prefix is a bit mislead. Probably not worth changing
here, but some time in the future it could use a new name.
