They are really not the same. They can possibly end up using different
base page size. Also vmemmap is available only with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
enabled. Does hotplug depend on sparsemem vmemmap ?

We really want to look at memory hotplug to fully understand the
radix impact. The unplug operation needs to do some additional freeing.

I did put in comments around that with the idea of coming back to that
later

#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
void radix__vmemmap_remove_mapping(unsigned long start, unsigned long page_size)
{
	/* FIXME!! intel does more. We should free page tables mapping vmemmap ? */
}
#endif
