Subject: mm/vmemmap: allow architectures to override how vmemmap optimization works
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2023 00:37:50 +0530
Architectures like powerpc will like to use different page table
allocators and mapping mechanisms to implement vmemmap optimization.
Similar to vmemmap_populate allow architectures to implement
vmemap_populate_compound_pages
