This series enables vmemmap backing memory allocation from device memory
ranges on arm64. But before that, it enables vmemmap_populate_basepages()
and vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() to accommodate struct vmem_altmap based
alocation requests.

This series applies on 5.8-rc4.

Changes in V4:

- Dropped 'fallback' from vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() per Catalin

Changes in V3: (https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mm/list/?series=304707)

- Dropped comment from free_hotplug_page_range() per Robin
- Modified comment in unmap_hotplug_range() per Robin
- Enabled altmap support in vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() per Robin

Changes in V2: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/4/475)

- Rebased on latest hot-remove series (v14) adding P4D page table support

Changes in V1: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/23/12)

- Added an WARN_ON() in unmap_hotplug_range() when altmap is
  provided without the page table backing memory being freed

Changes in RFC V2: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/21/11)

- 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)
