Subject: x86/mm: set ARCH_WANT_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2025 23:22:02 +0000
Now that hugetlb bootmem pages are allocated earlier, and available for
section preinit (HVO-style), set ARCH_WANT_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT for
x86_64, so that is can be done.
This enables pre-HVO on x86_64.
