Up-level the local section size and mask from kernel/memremap.c to
global definitions. These will be used by the new sub-section hotplug

Should be dropped from this series as it has been replaced by a very
similar patch in the mainline:

7c697d7fb5cb14ef60e2b687333ba3efb74f73da
mm/memremap: Rename and consolidate SECTION_SIZE

I saw that patch fly by and acked it, but I have not seen it picked up
anywhere. I grabbed latest -linus and -next, but don't see that
commit.

$ git show 7c697d7fb5cb14ef60e2b687333ba3efb74f73da

Yeah, I don't recognise that ID either, nor have I had any notifications that Andrew's picked up anything of mine yet :/

Robin.
