Good point. We should handle memblock-per-memblock onny if we have to 
handle the altmap. Otherwise, just call a separate function that doesn't 
care about -- e.g., called remove_memory_blocks_no_altmap().

We could simply walk all memory blocks and make sure either all have an 
altmap or none has an altmap. If there is a mix, we should bail out with 
WARN_ON_ONCE().
