vmemmap allocation currently has this layout:

 [ffffe20000000000-ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->ffff810001400000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000200000-ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->ffff810001800000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000400000-ffffe200005fffff] PMD ->ffff810001c00000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000600000-ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->ffff810002000000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000800000-ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->ffff810002400000 on node 0
...

note that there is a 2M hole between them - not optimal.

the root cause is that usemap (24 bytes) will be allocated after every 2M
mem_map, and it will push next vmemmap (2M) to the next (2M) alignment.

solution: try to allocate the mem_map continously.

after the patch, we get:

 [ffffe20000000000-ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->ffff810001400000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000200000-ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->ffff810001600000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000400000-ffffe200005fffff] PMD ->ffff810001800000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000600000-ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->ffff810001a00000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000800000-ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->ffff810001c00000 on node 0
...

which is the ideal layout.

and usemap will share a page because of they are allocated continuously too:

sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00000 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00080 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00100 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00180 size = 24
...

so we make the bootmem allocation more compact and use less memory
for usemap => mission accomplished ;-)
