A compound devmap is a dev_pagemap with @vmemmap_shift > 0 and it means
that pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and utilize uses
compound pages as opposed to order-0 pages.

Take advantage of the fact that most tail pages look the same (except the
first two) to minimize struct page overhead.  Allocate a separate page for
the vmemmap area which contains the head page and separate for the next 64
pages.  The rest of the subsections then reuse this tail vmemmap page to
initialize the rest of the tail pages.

Sections are arch-dependent (e.g.  on x86 it's 64M, 128M or 512M) and when
initializing compound devmap with big enough @vmemmap_shift (e.g.  1G PUD)
it may cross multiple sections.  The vmemmap code needs to consult @pgmap
so that multiple sections that all map the same tail data can refer back
to the first copy of that data for a given gigantic page.

On compound devmaps with 2M align, this mechanism lets 6 pages be saved
