Catalin Marinas 782276b4d0 arm64: Force SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP as the only memory management model
Currently arm64 allows a choice of FLATMEM, SPARSEMEM and
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. However, only the latter is tested regularly. FLATMEM
does not seem to boot in certain configurations (guest under KVM with
Qemu as a VMM). Since the reduction of the SECTION_SIZE_BITS to 27 (4K
pages) or 29 (64K page), there's little argument against the memory
wasted by the mem_map array with SPARSEMEM.

Make SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the only available option, non-selectable, and
remove the corresponding #ifdefs under arch/arm64/.

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.
