Record that geometry as the compound page order in section metadata before populating the section, so later vmemmap accounting and population decisions can use the section state directly. Clear the compound page order when the section becomes empty again. Also reject partial additions to a section that already has optimized vmemmap mappings. compound_nr_pages() determines how many struct pages to initialize with a section as the smallest granularity. A section therefore cannot safely mix optimized and ordinary vmemmap layouts. Partial additions continue to use ordinary vmemmap population, so they do not save vmemmap memory. Such additions are uncommon, and the lost saving is negligible.
