mm: ZONE_DEVICE depends on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
The primary use case for devm_memremap_pages() is to allocate an memmap
array from persistent memory. That capabilty requires vmem_altmap which
requires SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.
Also, without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the addition of ZONE_DEVICE expands
ZONES_WIDTH and triggers the:
"Unfortunate NUMA and NUMA Balancing config, growing page-frame for
last_cpupid."
...warning in mm/memory.c. SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n && ZONE_DEVICE=y is not
a configuration we should worry about supporting.
