John,

I *think* I got tentative signoff from Dave and Any below as per the 
copied snipits below.
I made the modifications that they suggested. please see the attached 
for two patches:
a) the code
b) the sparsemem.txt doc

not sure if the mips powers that be were ok w/ it. pardon my ignorance, 
not sure if I am
required to do anymore. There was some comment to try this out w/ the 
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP
which I believe should "just work", but we've never tried it as of yet, 
so by my rule I can't
say it is so.. (has anyone tried that?)

Mike

Looks great to me.  I can't test it, of course, but I don't see any
problems with it.
