    arm64: Kconfig: Remove ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL · 8a695a58
    James Morse authored
    include/linux/mmzone.h describes ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL as
    relevant when parts the memmap have been free()d. This would
    happen on systems where memory is smaller than a sparsemem-section,
    and the extra struct pages are expensive. pfn_valid() on these
    systems returns true for the whole sparsemem-section, so an extra
    memmap_valid_within() check is needed.
    
    On arm64 we have nomap memory, so always provide pfn_valid() to test
    for nomap pages. This means ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL's extra checks
    are already rolled up into pfn_valid().
    
    Remove it.
