mm/sparsemem: enable vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate_basepages()
Patch series "arm64: Enable vmemmap mapping from device memory", v4. This series enables vmemmap backing memory allocation from device memory ranges on arm64. But before that, it enables vmemmap_populate_basepages() and vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() to accommodate struct vmem_altmap based alocation requests. This patch (of 3): vmemmap_populate_basepages() is used across platforms to allocate backing memory for vmemmap mapping. This is used as a standard default choice or as a fallback when intended huge pages allocation fails. This just creates entire vmemmap mapping with base pages (PAGE_SIZE). On arm64 platforms, vmemmap_populate_basepages() is called instead of the platform specific vmemmap_populate() when ARM64_SWAPPER_USES_SECTION_MAPS is not enabled as in case for ARM64_16K_PAGES and ARM64_64K_PAGES configs. At present vmemmap_populate_basepages() does not support allocating from driver defined struct vmem_altmap while trying to create vmemmap mapping for a device memory range. It prevents ARM64_16K_PAGES and ARM64_64K_PAGES configs on arm64 from supporting device memory with vmemap_altmap request. This enables vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate_basepages() unlocking device memory allocation for vmemap mapping on arm64 platforms with 16K or 64K base page configs. Each architecture should evaluate and decide on subscribing device memory based base page allocation through vmemmap_populate_basepages(). Hence lets keep it disabled on all archs in order to preserve the existing semantics. A subsequent patch enables it on arm64.
