I'm not sure. Maybe it's best if I back up a step and explain what lead 
me to this patch. During hotplug, you get

...
	arch_add_memory
		create_section_mapping
			htab_bolt_mapping
				BUG_ON(!ppc_md.hpte_insert);

So it seemed to me that I needed a radix equivalent of 
create_section_mapping().

After some digging, I found hash__vmemmap_create_mapping() and 
radix__vmemmap_create_mapping() did what I needed. I did not notice the 
#ifdef SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP around them.

Hotplug/remove are now working for me as far as I can tell, so I think
the functional change in itself was correct. Hotplug may not depend on 
sparsemem vmemmap, but we seem to need a radix create_section_mapping() 
regardless.

Could it be that the functions just need to be renamed 
hash__create_mapping()/radix__create_mapping() and moved out of #ifdef 
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP?
