vm_area_add_early/vm_area_register_early() are used to reserve vmalloc area
during boot process and those virtually mapped areas are never unmapped.
So `OR` VM_STATIC flag to the areas in vmalloc_init() when importing
existing vmlist entries and prevent those areas from being removed from the
rbtree by accident.

How would they be removed "by accident"?

I don't mean actual use-cases, but I just want to make it robust against like programming errors.

Oh, ok. The patch makes sense then, although the changelog could use
a little update.

I am wondering whether protection against accidental deletion
of any vmap area should be done in remove_vm_area() function
or the callers should take care of it. But I guess either way
it works.

You might want to add some description in the comment saying
its a sticky VM area which will never go away or something.

You might want to move the VM_STATIC check before the VM_VM_AREA
check so in cases where the former is set we can save one more
conditional check.
