I was working on enabling memmap_on_memory for ppc64 and came across
this. Can we do this as below?
commit d55eddf71032cad3e057d8fa4c61ad2b8e05aaa8

mm/hotplug: Allow to force enable memmap on memory
In some cases like DAX kmem, we want to enable memmap on memory
even if we have memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory disabled. This
patch enables such usage. DAX kmem can use MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY
directly to request for memmap on memory.
