+	 * a) We span a single memory block: memory onlining/offlinin;g happens
s/offlinin;g/offlining;/
+	 *    in memory block granularity. We don't want the vmemmap of online
+	 *    memory blocks to reside on offline memory blocks. In the future,
+	 *    we might want to support variable-sized memory blocks to make the
+	 *    feature more versatile.
+	 *
+	 * b) The vmemmap pages span complete PMDs: We don't want vmemmap code
+	 *    to populate memory from the altmap for unrelated parts (i.e.,
+	 *    other memory blocks)
+	 *
+	 * c) The vmemmap pages (and thereby the pages that will be exposed to
+	 *    the buddy) have to cover full pageblocks: memory onlining/offlining
+	 *    code requires applicable ranges to be page-aligned, for example, to
+	 *    set the migratetypes properly.
+	 *
+	 * TODO: Although we have a check here to make sure that vmemmap pages
+	 *	 fully populate a PMD, it is not the right place to check for
+	 *	 this. A much better solution involves improving vmemmap code
+	 *	 to fallback to base pages when trying to populate vmemmap using
+	 *	 altmap as an alternative source of memory, and we do not exactly
+	 *	 populate a single PMD.

LGTM, thanks!

(another pair of eyes certainly wouldn't hurt :) )
