With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM disabled the below kernel build error is observed.
arch/powerpc/mm/init_64.c:477:38: error: use of undeclared identifier 'SECTION_SIZE_BITS'
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG depends on CONFIG_SPARSEMEM and it is more clear
to describe the code dependency in terms of MEMORY_HOTPLUG. Outside
memory hotplug the kernel uses memory_block_size for kernel directmap.
Instead of depending on SECTION_SIZE_BITS to compute the direct map
page size, add a new #define which defaults to 16M(same as existing
SECTION_SIZE)

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.
