Resend of previous patch

I've attached the patch compressed with gzip and as clear text. 
Hopefully one of them will survive whatever corruption occurred last time.

The patch below allows sparsemem to work for Mips64. This is my first 
foray into the boot memory handling code, so hopefully I haven't made 
any serious blunders. Unfortunately the Octeon processor I made the 
changes for isn't currently in the linux-mips.org tree. This means there 
isn't an example of sparsemem usage yet. I plan to work at fixing this soon.

Other than various ifdef changes, the most important change was moving 
memory_present() in arch/mips/kernel/setup.c. When you're using 
sparsemem extreme, this function does an allocate for bootmem. This 
would always fail since init_bootmem hasn't been called yet. I moved 
memory_present after free_bootmem. This only marks actual memory ranges 
as present instead of the entire address space.

This patch was made against 2.6.16.16
