672d67f339c0 ("xen/arm: Split MMU-specific setup_mm() and related code out") moved consider_modules() under arm32. Move it back to setup.c and make it
non-static so that it can be used outside.

Ayan, Henry, will the function consider_modules() be used for the MPU code?

I checked all the MPU branches (the recent arm64 implementation and an arm32 branch to my best knowledge), no I don't think the function will be used for the MPU code. However I am not sure if Ayan has a newer arm32 MPU branch on top of the latest staging or so using the function, Ayan would you like to add some comments?

Yes, Henry is correct.

consider_modules() is mmu specific only.

If not, then I think the function should live in arm/mmu/setup.c.

+1, arm/mmu/setup.c is a good place.

Kind regards,
Henry
