+ * memory blocks to reside on offline memory blocks. In the future,
+ * we might want to support variable-sized memory blocks to make the
+ * feature more versatile.
+ *
+ * b) The vmemmap pages span complete PMDs: We don't want vmemmap code
+ * to populate memory from the altmap for unrelated parts (i.e.,
+ * other memory blocks)
+ *
+ * c) The vmemmap pages (and thereby the pages that will be exposed to
+ * the buddy) have to cover full pageblocks: memory
onlining/offlining
+ * code requires applicable ranges to be page-aligned, for example,
to
+ * set the migratetypes properly.
+ *
+ * TODO: Although we have a check here to make sure that vmemmap pages
+ * fully populate a PMD, it is not the right place to check for
+ * this. A much better solution involves improving vmemmap code
+ * to fallback to base pages when trying to populate vmemmap using
+ * altmap as an alternative source of memory, and we do not
exactly
+ * populate a single PMD.

LGTM, thanks!
(another pair of eyes certainly wouldn't hurt :) )
