CAVIUM_OCTEON_SOC configuration selects HOLES_IN_ZONE option to cope with memory crashes that were happening in 2011. This option effectively aliases pfn_valid_within() to pfn_valid() when enabled and hardwires it to 1 when disabled. The check for pfn_valid_within() is only relevant in case the memory map may have holes or undefined struct page instances inside MAX_ORDER chunks. Since 2011 memory management initialization in general and memory map initialization particularly became much more robust so the check for pfn_valid_within() is not required on Octeon even despite its, hmm, unusual memory setup. Remove the selection of HOLES_IN_ZONE by CAVIUM_OCTEON_SOC and drop the HOLES_IN_ZONE configuration option entirely as Octeon was the only MIPS platform to use it.

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.
