Does s390 actually support passing in an altmap? If 'yes', I think it
also needs the vmem_altmap_offset() fixup like x86-64:

/* With altmap the first mapped page is offset from @start */
if (altmap)
page += vmem_altmap_offset(altmap);

...but I suspect it does not support altmap since
arch/s390/mm/vmem.c::vmemmap_populate() does not arrange for 'struct
page' capacity to be allocated out of an altmap defined page pool.

I think it would be enough to disallow any arch_add_memory() on s390
where @altmap is non-NULL. At least until s390 gains ZONE_DEVICE
support and can enable the pmem use case.
