I am probably missing something, but why not submit the entire series together ?
That might explain why XARRAY_MULTI is enabled below, and what the series is
about. Additional comments below.

This is almost identical to ARCH_HAS_HMM except ARCH_HAS_HMM
depends on ZONE_DEVICE and MMU && 64BIT. ARCH_HAS_HMM_MIRROR
and ARCH_HAS_HMM_DEVICE together almost match ARCH_HAS_HMM,
except for the ARCH_HAS_ZONE_DEVICE vs. ZONE_DEVICE dependency.
And ZONE_DEVICE selects XARRAY_MULTI, meaning there is really
substantial overlap.

Not really my concern, but personally I'd like to see some
reasoning why the additional options are needed .. thus the
question above, why not submit the series together ?

Thanks,
