    sparsemem: record when a section has a valid mem_map · 540557b9
    Andy Whitcroft authored
    We have flags to indicate whether a section actually has a valid mem_map
    associated with it.  This is never set and we rely solely on the present bit
    to indicate a section is valid.  By definition a section is not valid if it
    has no mem_map and there is a window during init where the present bit is set
    but there is no mem_map, during which pfn_valid() will return true
    incorrectly.
    
    Use the existing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP flag to indicate the presence of a valid
    mem_map.  Switch valid_section{,_nr} and pfn_valid() to this bit.  Add a new
    present_section{,_nr} and pfn_present() interfaces for those users who care to
    know that a section is going to be valid.
