[PATCH 2/5] mm/memremap_pages: Introduce memremap_compat_align()

2020-01-30 Thread Dan Williams
The "sub-section memory hotplug" facility allows memremap_pages() users like libnvdimm to compensate for hardware platforms like x86 that have a section size larger than their hardware memory mapping granularity. The compensation that sub-section support affords is being tolerant of physical
