All pages of virtual mapping in removed memory cannot be freed, since some pages used as PGD/PUD includes not only removed memory but also other memory. So the patch checks whether page can be freed or not. How to check whether page can be freed or not? 1. When removing memory, the page structs of the revmoved memory are filled with 0FD. 2. All page structs are filled with 0xFD on PT/PMD, PT/PMD can be cleared. In this case, the page used as PT/PMD can be freed. Applying patch, __remove_section() of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is integrated into one. So __remove_section() of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is deleted.
