#     powerpc/mm: Fallback to RAM if the altmap is unusable
#     
#     The "altmap" is used to provide a pool of memory that is reserved for
#     the vmemmap backing of hot-plugged memory. This is useful when adding
#     large amount of ZONE_DEVICE memory to a system with a limited amount of
#     normal memory.
#     
#     On ppc64 we use huge pages to map the vmemmap which requires the backing
#     storage to be contigious and aligned to the hugepage size. The altmap
#     implementation allows for the altmap provider to reserve a few PFNs at
#     the start of the range for it's own uses and when this occurs the
#     first chunk of the altmap is not usable for hugepage mappings. On hash
#     there is no sane way to fall back to a normal sized page mapping so we
#     fail the allocation. This results in memory hotplug failing with
#     ENOMEM when the new range doesn't fall into an existing vmemmap block.
#     
#     This patch handles this case by falling back to using system memory
#     rather than failing if we cannot allocate from the altmap. This
#     fallback should only ever be used for the first vmemmap block so it
#     should not cause excess memory consumption.
#     
#     Fixes: 7b73d978a5d0 ("mm: pass the vmem_altmap to vmemmap_populate")
