The only real change here is that lmb_enforce_memory_limit now takes
the memory_limit as a parameter instead of as a global variable.

A new option for SPARSEMEM is ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME. Architecture
platforms with a very sparse physical address space would likely want to
select this option. For those architecture platforms that don't select the
option, the code generated is equivalent to SPARSEMEM currently in -mm.
I'll be posting a patch on ia64 ml which uses this new SPARSEMEM feature.
ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of
pointers to mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve
smaller memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an
additional shift and load when fetching the memory section. The current
SPARSEMEM -mm implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections
which is the default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates
the implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.
ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME depends on 64BIT and is by default boolean false.
I've boot tested under aim load ia64 configured for ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.
I've also boot tested a 4 way Opteron machine with !ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
and tested with aim.

We no longer need the lmb code to know about abs and phys addresses, so
remove the physbase variable from the lmb_property struct.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
