In the near future, we want to have a single way to handover PageOffline
pages to the buddy, whereby they could have:
(a) Never been exposed to the buddy before: kept PageOffline when onlining
the memory block.
(b) Been allocated from the buddy, for example using
alloc_contig_range() to then be set PageOffline,
Let's start by making generic_online_page()->__free_pages_core() less
special compared to ordinary page freeing (e.g., free_contig_range()),
and perform the debug_pagealloc_map_pages() call unconditionally, even
when the online callback might decide to keep the pages offline.
All pages are already initialized with PageOffline, so nobody touches them
either way.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
