Yes, I can move it there.

config ACPI_APEI
         bool "ACPI Platform Error Interface (APEI)"
         select MISC_FILESYSTEMS
         select PSTORE
         select UEFI_CPER
+        select ACPI_APEI_MEMORY_FAILURE if MEMORY_FAILURE
         depends on HAVE_ACPI_APEI

The ARCH_SUPPORTS_MEMORY_FAILURE should remain in arch/arm64/Kconfig 
though, correct?

Thanks,
Tyler
