Instead of checking for memmap on memory feature enablement within the
functions checking for alignment, use the kernel parameter to control the
memory hotplug flags. The generic kernel now enables memmap on memory
feature if the hotplug flag request for the same.

The ACPI code now can pass the flag unconditionally because the kernel will
fallback to not using the feature if the alignment rules are not met.

That's kind-of ugly TBH.


Why do we need this change?

I was trying to avoid rest of the kernel doing 

if (mhp_supports_memmap_on_memory(info->length))
         mhp_flags |= MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY;

I was also following pattern similar to 

static inline gfp_t alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask(void)
{
	return khugepaged_defrag() ? GFP_TRANSHUGE : GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT;
}


Overall goal of the patch is to handle the fallback of not using altmap/memmap in memory 
inside add_memory_resource and the callsites only express the desire to use memmap on memory
if possible/enabled.

It would look much cleaner if you would simply have:

mhp_flags |= MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY;
result = __add_memory(mgid, info->start_addr, info->length, mhp_flags);

And modify the semantics of MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY to mean "allocate the 
memmap from hotplugged memory if supported and enabled globally".

Then, we can simply ignore the flag in __add_memory() if either the 
global toggle is off or if it's not supported for the range / by the arch.

Maybe, in the future we want more fine-grained control (as asked by 
dax/kmem) and maybe not have the global toggle. But for now, that should 
be good enough I guess.
