[PATCH 1/4] x86_64: Switch to SPARSE_VIRTUAL

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>]

x86_64 make SPARSE_VIRTUAL the default

x86_64 is using 2M page table entries to map its 1-1 kernel space.
We implement the virtual memmap also using 2M page table entries.
So there is no difference at all to FLATMEM. Both schemes require
a page table and a TLB.

Thus the SPARSEMEM becomes the most efficient way of handling
virt_to_page, pfn_to_page and friends for UP, SMP and NUMA.

So change the Kconfig for x86_64 to make SPARSE_VIRTUAL the
default and switch off all other memory models.

Oh. And PFN_TO_PAGE used to be out of line. Since it is now
so simple switch it back to inline.
