Largely: Why not. Question is whether what is being moved now may
eventually require moving back, if support was extended to PV (MEM_PAGING
and MEM_SHARING). That doesn't look very likely though.

I don't mind the movement of this line, but I'd like to point out that it
may be beneficial to have all selects of HAS_* in a central place. Views
of other maintainers (or of course anyone else) appreciated.

We strive to have such lists of selects sorted alphabetically, preventing
everyone to add to the end of the list (in turn reducing the risk of
patches conflicting).
