Subject: mm: make SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT an internal option
Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2025 18:57:17 +0000
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT is not useful as a user-facing option, it is
just something that should be selected if a subsystem wishes to do vmemmap
preinit. That's currently only HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP.
So, make it a default-less option that is only selected by
HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP, iff the architecture has noted it is
capable of doing hugetlb vmemmap preinit. That is done via
ARCH_WANT_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_PREINIT, renamed from
ARCH_WANT_SPARSE_VMEMMAP_PREINIT.
