However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for arm64, s390 and x86. So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc. All architectures only enable SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary). This is a preparation for not supporting (1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section (2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page allocations suddenly fails).
