The following patches relate to allowing DISCONTIG memory to compile
(and hopefully work) without NUMA. I've tested that they boot, but not much
beyond that.
The first two patches are minor cleanups in files related to this change.
The third patch is the real change.

Why? I though we wanted to use virtual mem_map and sparsemem for
holes inside a single node?

There was a breif dicusion on linux-ia64 which I interpated as Tony
saying it was a good idea.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.ia64/16325/focus\x16327
With regards to sparse, the current code needs most if
not all these fixes in order to use arch/ia64/mm/discontig.c.
Is the idea to rework that?
