[PATCH v3 0/3] Cleanup and fixups for vmemmap handling

From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@suse.de>

Hi,

this series contains cleanups to remove dead code that handles
unaligned cases for 4K and 1GB pages (patch#1 and pathc#2) when
removing the vemmmap range, and a fix (patch#3) to handle the case
when two vmemmap ranges intersect a PMD.

More details can be found in the respective changelogs.

 v2 -> v3:
 - Make sure we do not clear the PUD entry in case
   we are not removing the whole range.
 - Add Reviewed-by

 v1 -> v2:
 - Remove dead code in remove_pud_table as well
 - Addessed feedback by David
 - Place the vmemap functions that take care of unaligned PMDs
   within CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP

Oscar Salvador (3):
  x86/vmemmap: Drop handling of 4K unaligned vmemmap range
  x86/vmemmap: Drop handling of 1GB vmemmap ranges
  x86/vmemmap: Handle unpopulated sub-pmd ranges
