Subject: mm/bootmem_info: allow calling free_bootmem_page() on pages without a bootmem_type
Date: Wed, 08 Jul 2026 16:10:59 +0200
As preparation for further changes, let's temporarily allow freeing pages
that were not previously registered.
This will allow freeing unregistered vmemmap pages allocated during boot
through free_bootmem_page() from hugetlb code, until we fully rip all of
that out.
