Usually, we just specify the component familly, the component name, and
the action being done. As microblaze is still experimental (at least in
CT-NG!), saying so in the commmit log would be good.

In this case, a subject like the following would
be more obvious:

    arch/microblaze: add new architecture

What archs usually do is:
  - if the MMU is always available (eg. x86):
        select ARCH_USE_MMU
  - if the MMU is either available or missing (eg. arm):
        select ARCH_SUPPORTS_BOTH_MMU
        select ARCH_DEFAULT_HAS_MMU   (only if the MMU is 'default')
  - if the arch never has an MMU (eg. blackfin), select nothing

AFAICS, microblaze is like ARM: use of the MMU is configurable.

Also, please add to the help entry that upstream projects are not all
up to full support for microblaze, and that support is being added.
If there are out-of-tree public patches and/or alternate repositories,
you may also want to point to them in the help entry, so that interested
parties can use them until support is upstream.

Othwerwise, looks good!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Thanks for the comments, I'll update my commit log message in v2

Yes indeed, I can add ARCH_SUPPORTS_BOTH_MMU, and having
ARCH_DEFAULT_HAS_MMU would be a reasonable config choice.
