This series enables vmemmap backing memory allocation from device memory ranges on arm64. But before that, it enables vmemmap_populate_basepages() to accommodate struct vmem_altmap based requests. This applies alongside arm64 memory hot remove (v10) on next-20191018. https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/11/232 Changes in RFC V2: - Changed the commit message on 1/2 patch per Will - Changed the commit message on 2/2 patch as well - Rebased on arm64 memory hot remove series (v10) RFC V1: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/28/32) Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Cc: Paul Walmsley <paul.walmsley@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Cc: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Kirill A.
