I should drop that completely. We should not hit that condition at all.
I will send a final patch once I go through the full patch series making
sure we are not breaking any ppc64 details.

Wondering why we did the below

#if defined(ARCH_SUBSECTION_SHIFT)
#define SUBSECTION_SHIFT (ARCH_SUBSECTION_SHIFT)
#elif defined(PMD_SHIFT)
#define SUBSECTION_SHIFT (PMD_SHIFT)
#else
/*
* Memory hotplug enabled platforms avoid this default because they
* either define ARCH_SUBSECTION_SHIFT, or PMD_SHIFT is a constant, but
* this is kept as a backstop to allow compilation on
* !ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG archs.
*/
#define SUBSECTION_SHIFT 21
#endif

why not

#if defined(ARCH_SUBSECTION_SHIFT)
#define SUBSECTION_SHIFT (ARCH_SUBSECTION_SHIFT)
#else
#define SUBSECTION_SHIFT SECTION_SHIFT
#endif

ie, if SUBSECTION is not supported by arch we have one sub-section per
section?
