x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model
Use sparsemem as the only memory model for UP, SMP and NUMA. Measurements
indicate that DISCONTIGMEM has a higher overhead than sparsemem. And
FLATMEMs benefits are minimal. So I think its best to simply standardize
on sparsemem.
Results of page allocator tests (test can be had via git from slab git
tree branch tests)
Measurements in cycle counts. 1000 allocations were performed and then the
average cycle count was calculated.

(Note that FlatMem is an SMP config and the rest NUMA configurations)
Memory use:

So 4.5k growth in text size vs. FLATMEM.

2k growth in overall memory use after boot.

8k text growth. Given that we fully inline virt_to_page and friends now
that is rather good.

The total available memory is increased by 8k.
This patch makes sparsemem the default and removes discontig and
flatmem support from x86.
