mm: ZONE_DEVICE depends on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
The primary use case for devm_memremap_pages() is to allocate an memmap array from persistent memory. That capabilty requires vmem_altmap which requires SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Also, without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the addition of ZONE_DEVICE expands ZONES_WIDTH and triggers the: "Unfortunate NUMA and NUMA Balancing config, growing page-frame for last_cpupid." ...warning in mm/memory.c. SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n && ZONE_DEVICE=y is not a configuration we should worry about supporting.
