Patch series "Cleanup and fixups for vmemmap handling", v6.
This series contains cleanups to remove dead code that handles unaligned
cases for 4K and 1GB pages (patch#1 and patch#2) when removing the vemmmap
range, and a fix (patch#3) to handle the case when two vmemmap ranges
intersect the same PMD.
This patch (of 4):
remove_pte_table() is prepared to handle the case where either the start
or the end of the range is not PAGE aligned. This cannot actually happen:
__populate_section_memmap enforces the range to be PMD aligned, so as long
as the size of the struct page remains multiple of 8, the vmemmap range
will be aligned to PAGE_SIZE.
Drop the dead code and place a VM_BUG_ON in vmemmap_{populate,free} to
catch nasty cases. Note that the VM_BUG_ON is placed in there because
vmemmap_{populate,free= } is the gate of all removing and freeing page
tables logic.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
