These two functions are named in very similar ways. Do they do similar
things?

Could you comment what the function is doing, please?

Let's not repeat the mistakes of the previous version of the code.
Please explain why we are aligning this. Also,
__earlyonly_bootmem_alloc()->memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() claims to
be aligning the size. Do we also need to do it here?
Yes, I know the old code did this, but this is the cost of doing a
rewrite. :)

It would be nice to call out that these are globals that other code
picks up.

^ This consumes "vmemmap_buf", right? That seems like a really nice
thing to point out here if so.

What is up with all of the unused arguments to this function?

Seems like if we have this, we should use it wherever possible, like
sparse_populate_node().

Oh, you have a vmemmap and non-vmemmap version.
BTW, can't the whole map base calculation just be replaced with:
return &map_base[PAGES_PER_SECTION * map_index];
?
