mm/hugetlb: do pre-HVO for bootmem allocated pages
For large systems, the overhead of vmemmap pages for hugetlb is substantial. It's about 1.5% of memory, which is about 45G for a 3T system. If you want to configure most of that system for hugetlb (e.g. to use as backing memory for VMs), there is a chance of running out of memory on boot, even though you know that the 45G will become available later. To avoid this scenario, and since it's a waste to first allocate and then free that 45G during boot, do pre-HVO for hugetlb bootmem allocated pages ('gigantic' pages). pre-HVO is done by adding functions that are called from sparse_init_nid_early and sparse_init_nid_late. The first is called before memmap allocation, so it takes care of allocating memmap HVO-style. The second verifies that all bootmem pages look good, specifically it checks that they do not intersect with multiple zones. This can only be done from sparse_init_nid_late path, when zones have been initialized. The hugetlb page size must be aligned to the section size, and aligned to the size of memory described by the number of page structures contained in one PMD (since pre-HVO is not prepared to split PMDs). This should be true for most 'gigantic' pages, it is for 1G pages on x86, where both of these alignment requirements are 128M. This will only have an effect if hugetlb_bootmem_alloc was called early in boot. If not, it won't do anything, and HVO for bootmem hugetlb pages works as before.
