[IA64] Sparse virtual implementation
Equip IA64 sparsemem with a virtual memmap. This is similar to the existing
CONFIG_VMEMMAP functionality for discontig. It uses a page size mapping.
This is provided as a minimally intrusive solution. We split the
128TB VMALLOC area into two 64TB areas and use one for the virtual memmap.
I have another patch in testing that uses granule sized 16MB pages to map
the memmap but this would require changes to the interrupt vector table
and there are certain discussions that would need to take place
before we can accept such a large page size for the memmap. That version
is better because is improves IA64 performance by reducing TLB pressure.
