Following this email are a four patches which represent the first
batch of feedback on version V5. I have some additional config
simplifications in test at the moment, and we probabally need to
move memory_model.h.

vmemmap-remove-excess-debugging -- remove some verbose and mostly
unhelpful debugging.

vmemmap-simplify-initialisation-code-and-reduce-duplication -- clean
up section initialisaion to simplify pulling out the vmemmap code.

vmemmap-pull-out-the-vmemmap-code-into-its-own-file -- pull out the
vmemmap code into its own file.

vmemmap-ppc64-convert-VMM_*-macros-to-a-real-function -- replace
some macros with an inline function to improve type safety.

The first three should be considered as fixes the patch below,
the last against the ppc64 support:

generic-virtual-memmap-support-for-sparsemem

All against 2.6.23-rc1-mm2.

Andrew please consider for -mm. (I found that merging the patch
below into its parent patch before sliding these into the tree made
the rejects must simpler.)
