[PATCH] (2/4) discontigmem support for i386 against 2.5.30

This patch restructures setup_arch() for i386 to make it easier to
include the i386 numa changes (for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM) I've been 
working on.  It also makes setup_arch() easier to read.  A version 
of this patch is the in 2.4 aa tree.

This patch does not depend on the other patches I'm submitting today, but 
my discontigmem patch does depend on this one. 

I've tested this patch on the following configurations: UP, SMP, SMP PAE, 
multiquad, multiquad PAE.

Any and all feedback regarding this patch is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pat

I've reviewed this (and the other related patches) affecting NUMA-Q
memory layout. I suppose I might be biased, but despite what others
might think, I'm really freaking impressed with how clean this stuff
is on top of the general awe factor for actually getting this stuff
going when I had trouble with it ages ago. Kudos!
