In v5, Joel Fernandes seems to suggest you change it to the following form:
In arch/Kconfig:
+config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
+	bool

In arch/x86/Kconfig:
config X86
	... ...
+	select ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC

In arch/arm64/Kconfig:
config ARM64
	... ...
+	select ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC if PM_SLEEP_SMP

etc..

You can refer to ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VIRTUAL.
