However, the ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL also enables HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID and arch-specific pfn_valid() implementation that also deals with the holes in the memory map. The only two users of memmap_valid_within() call this function after a call to pfn_valid() so the memmap_valid_within() check becomes redundant. Remove CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL and memmap_valid_within() and rely entirely on ARM's implementation of pfn_valid() that is now enabled unconditionally.
