If vmemmap_populate_basepages() exists to be shared across platforms for
creating vmemmap mapping with base pages, then there does not seem to be
any good reason for it not to support altmap requests as well.

Even though this option seemed viable to me at the beginning, there was
no particular pressing reasons for vmemmap_populate_basepages() to exist
as a generic function and not support atlamp. If each architecture just
create their own policies regarding which level to support altmap or not
while also using a generic function, then why even have a minimum shared
function like vmemmap_populate_basepages() in the first place.

Yes, this pattern is now there in couple of more places. Sure, will change
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() to handle altmap with a fallback request.
Something like this (not tested properly)

Subject: [PATCH] mm/sparse: Enable vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() for altmap
allocations
There are many instances where vmemap allocation is often switched between
device memory and regular memory based on whether altmap is available or
not. vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() is used in various platforms to allocate
vmemmap. Hence enable it to handle altmap based device memory allocation as
well. While here implement a regular memory allocation fallback mechanism
that is used in powerpc.
