With memmap on memory, some architecture needs more details w.r.t altmap

Can you elaborate why ppc64 needs that and x86-64 + aarch64 don't?
IOW, why can't ppc64 simply allocate the vmemmap from the start of the
memblock (-> base_pfn) and use the stored number of vmemmap pages to
calculate the end_pfn?
To rephrase: if the vmemmap is not at the beginning and doesn't cover
full apgeblocks, memory onlining/offlining would be broken.

Instead of embedding that, what about conditionally allocating it and
store a pointer to it in the "struct memory_block"?
In the general case as of today, we don't have an altmap.
