Yes. What I understand by common is that it should work on functionality on _all_ the
armv8 targets. If you don't include NUMA then it will have functionality issue
with NUMA targets.

The ARM64 Linux kernel took the similar approach. The default config has all
options and NUMA is _enabled_ even it is not supported on A72.

Yes. I agree. Cross compilation needs additional step. On the other
hand, If we don't include NUMA in common config, We need to add new targets on
all new SoCs(like thunderx2). IMO, In order to reduce the config, I think,
this is the better way.(and it is not hard to disable NUMA for cross
compilation mode if not interested)
