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..
