Replace vmem_altmap with an vmem_context argument. That let us
express how the vmemmap is gonna be initialized e.g. passing
flags and a page size for reusing pages upon initializing the
vmemmap.

Per the comment on the last patch, if compound dev_pagemap never
collides with vmem_altmap then I don't think this patch is needed.

See my previous patch reply. It *might* be worth keeping that around.

And since the RFC, nvdimm is going to need a slight adjustment for the
altmap reserve pfn range, should we keep altmap around.
