Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] mm,memory_hotplug: Allow userspace to enable/disable vmemmap

It seems that we have some users out there that want to expose all
hotpluggable memory to userspace, so this implements a toggling mechanism
for those users who want to disable it.

By default, vmemmap pages mechanism is enabled.
