Commit e900a918 ("mm: shuffle initial free memory to improve memory-side-cache utilization") promised "autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a follow-on patch)" over a year ago. The original series included patches [1], however, they were dropped during review [2] to be followed-up later. Due to lack of platforms that publish an HMAT, autodetection is currently not implemented. However, manual activation is actively used [3]. Let's simplify for now and re-add when really (ever?) needed.
