Hi

I just got sparsemem working on our MIPS 32 platform. I'm not sure if 
anyone
has done that before since there seems to be a couple of problems in the 
arch specific code.

Well I realize that it is blazingly simple to turn on sparsemem, but for 
the idiots (like myself)
out there I created a howto file to put in the Documentation directory 
just because I thought
it would be a good idea to have some official info on  it written down 
somewhere.

it saved me a ton of space by the way.  it seems to work great.

Mike
