These are all not necessary. Better add some global Kconfig option that
gets selected by an arch if it wants the generic implementation.

e.g. we currently have this in arch/s390/Kconfig:

config S390
        def_bool y
        select HAVE_OPROFILE
        select HAVE_KPROBES
        select HAVE_KRETPROBES

just add a select HAVE_GENERIC_SHOWMEM or something like that in the arch
specific patches.
