MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE memory notifier makes memory block physical
accessible via sclp assign command. The notifier ensures self-contained
memory maps are accessible and hence enabling the "memmap on memory" on
s390.

MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE memory notifier shifts the memory block to an
inaccessible state via sclp unassign command.

Implementation considerations:
* When MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY is disabled, the system retains the old
behavior. This means the memory map is allocated from default memory.
* If MACHINE_HAS_EDAT1 is unavailable, MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY is
automatically disabled. This ensures that vmemmap pagetables do not
consume additional memory from the default memory allocator.
* The MEM_GOING_ONLINE notifier has been modified to perform no
operation, as MEM_PREPARE_ONLINE already executes the sclp assign
command.
* The MEM_CANCEL_ONLINE/MEM_OFFLINE notifier now performs no operation, as
MEM_FINISH_OFFLINE already executes the sclp unassign command.

PFN_PHYS(), maybe you can directly do:

if (arg->altmap_start_pfn) {
start = PFN_PHYS(arg->altmap_start_pfn);
size += PFN_PHYS(arg->altmap_nr_pages);
}

...

and avoid the variables completely.

That hunk is likely better moved to the last enabling patch.
