I would like to see the default set to be "n".
On my machine (x86_64) defconfig enables this feature and I don't know
if this feature can work there.

➜  linux-mm git:(dev) ✗ make defconfig ARCH=x86
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/bin2c
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
  HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/conf
*** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
#
➜  linux-mm git:(dev) ✗ grep CONFIG_MEMORY_MIRROR .config
CONFIG_MEMORY_MIRROR=y
