Probably not, but I can't think of a good reason to completely disable it in Kconfig. Almost everything can be built without MMU at the moment, but the subset of things that are actually useful is hard to know. Arnd

I've never heard of anyone doing this configuration, and I don't really know much about nommu to comment if it could even potentially work or not.. Jason

On kernels without CONFIG_MMU, we get a link error for the siw driver: drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_mem.o: In function `siw_umem_get': siw_mem.c:(.text+0x4c8): undefined reference to `can_do_mlock' This is probably not the only driver that needs the function and could otherwise build correctly without CONFIG_MMU, so add a dummy variant that always returns false.
