[merged mm-stable] mm-kconfig-make-config_memory_hotplug-depend-on-config_sparsemem_vmemmap.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/Kconfig: make CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG depend on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-kconfig-make-config_memory_hotplug-depend-on-config_sparsemem_vmemmap.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/Kconfig: make CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG depend on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 23:13:36 +0100

Ever since commit f8f03eb5f0f9 ("mm: stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
user-selectable"), an architecture that supports CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
(by selecting SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE) can no longer enable
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM without CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

Right now, CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is guarded by CONFIG_SPARSEMEM.

However, CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is only enabled by
* arm64: which selects SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE
* loongarch: which selects SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE
* powerpc (64bit): which selects SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE
* riscv (64bit): which selects SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE
* s390 with SPARSEMEM: which selects SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE
* x86 (64bit): which selects SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE

So, we can make CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG depend on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
without affecting any setups.
