Anshuman Khandual eee07935bb arm64/mm: enable vmem_altmap support for vmemmap mappings
Device memory ranges when getting hot added into ZONE_DEVICE, might
require their vmemmap mapping's backing memory to be allocated from their
own range instead of consuming system memory.  This prevents large system
memory usage for potentially large device memory ranges.  Device driver
communicates this request via vmem_altmap structure.  Architecture needs
to take this request into account while creating and tearing down vemmmap
mappings.

This enables vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate() and vmemmap_free()
which includes vmemmap_populate_basepages() used for ARM64_16K_PAGES and
ARM64_64K_PAGES configs.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
