maybe just:

	if (PHYS_PFN(end) - PHYS_PFN(start) < PAGES_PER_SECTION) ?

Although the following looks more clear to me:

int __meminit vmemmap_populate(unsigned long start, unsigned long end, int node,
                struct vmem_altmap *altmap)
{
        int err;
        bool partial_section = (PHYS_PFN(end) - PFN_PHYS(start)) < PAGES_PER_SECTION;

        if (partial_section || !boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PSE))
                err = vmemmap_populate_basepages(start, end, node);
        else if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PSE))
                err = vmemmap_populate_hugepages(start, end, node, altmap);
        else if (altmap) {
                pr_err_once("%s: no cpu support for altmap allocations\n",
                                __func__);
                err = -ENOMEM;
        }

        if (!err)
                sync_global_pgds(start, end - 1);
        return err;
}

I would use PAGES_PER_SUB_SECTION directly:

	 end = ALIGN(pfn + nr_pages, PAGES_PER_SUB_SECTION);

> +	pfn &= PHYS_PFN(SECTION_ACTIVE_MASK);

	pfn &= PAGE_SUB_SECTION_MASK ?

Can this actually happen? We need CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP in order to use nvdimm,
right?

But I guess it is fine to have a safety net just in case.
