vmem_altmap_free() and vmem_altmap_offset() could be utlized without CONFIG_ZONE_DEVICE enabled. For example, mm/memory_hotplug.c:__add_pages() relies on that. The altmap is no longer restricted to ZONE_DEVICE handling, but instead depends on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is disabled, these functions are defined as inline stubs, ensuring compatibility with configurations that do not use sparsemem vmemmap.

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 Restructured Text 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.
