Subject: [PATCH 1/5] mm: Introduce ARCH_MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY_ENABLE

In order to use self-hosted memmap array, the platform needs to have
support for CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP and altmap.
Currently, only arm64, PPC and x86_64 have the support, so enable those
platforms with ARCH_MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY_ENABLE.

ARCH_MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY_ENABLE will be checked later on to see whether
we can enable this feature or not.
