mainlining shenanigans
3e0d3e408e
We want to have only a single pagetable walker and reuse the same functionality for vmemmap handling. Let's start by consolidating vmem_add_range() and vmem_remove_range(), converting it into a recursive implementation. A recursive implementation makes it easier to expand individual cases without harming readability. In addition, we minimize traversing the whole hierarchy over and over again. One change is that we don't unmap large PMDs/PUDs when not completely covered by the request, something that should never happen with direct mappings, unless one would be removing in other granularity than added, which would be broken already.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
