Hmm, I didn't say patch 1 and 2 are preparation works because they had
better be done even if we don't take off subsection map from
SPARSEMEM|!VMEMMAP case. Wrapping the subsection map filling and clearing
codes into separate new functions, can make section_activate() and
section_deactivate() much clearer on code logic.

If you don't mind, I will keep them for now, and see what other people
will say.

Thanks
