All pages of virtual mapping in removed memory cannot be freed, since some pages
used as PGD/PUD includes not only removed memory but also other memory. So the
patch checks whether page can be freed or not.
How to check whether page can be freed or not?
1. When removing memory, the page structs of the revmoved memory are filled
with 0FD.
2. All page structs are filled with 0xFD on PT/PMD, PT/PMD can be cleared.
In this case, the page used as PT/PMD can be freed.
Applying patch, __remove_section() of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is integrated
into one. So __remove_section() of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is deleted.
Note: vmemmap_kfree() and vmemmap_free_bootmem() are not implemented for ia64,
ppc, s390, and sparc.

Hi Yasuaki,
why call memchr_inv check after memset, this time the page can always be filled with 0xFD.
The page is not always filled with 0xFD. find_and_clear_pte_page()
is calld in each section. So the function fills the page
section size/sizeof(page) byte with 0xFD one time. Thus if section size is
small, the page is filled with 0xFD.
Thanks,
Yasuaki Ishimatsu
