Subject: [PATCH] sparsemem: on no vmemmap path put mem_map on node high too


we need to put mem_map high when virtual memmap is not used.

before this patch
free mem pfn range on first node:
[    0.000000]  19 - 1f
[    0.000000]  28 40 - 80 95
[    0.000000]  702 740 - 1000 1000
[    0.000000]  347c - 347e
[    0.000000]  34e7 3500 - 3b80 3b8b
[    0.000000]  73b8b 73bc0 - 73c00 73c00
[    0.000000]  73ddd - 73e00
[    0.000000]  73fdd - 74000
[    0.000000]  741dd - 74200
[    0.000000]  743dd - 74400
[    0.000000]  745dd - 74600
[    0.000000]  747dd - 74800
[    0.000000]  749dd - 74a00
[    0.000000]  74bdd - 74c00
[    0.000000]  74ddd - 74e00
[    0.000000]  74fdd - 75000
[    0.000000]  751dd - 75200
[    0.000000]  753dd - 75400
[    0.000000]  755dd - 75600
[    0.000000]  757dd - 75800
[    0.000000]  759dd - 75a00
[    0.000000]  79bdd 79c00 - 7d540 7d550
[    0.000000]  7f745 - 7f750
[    0.000000]  10000b 100040 - 2080000 2080000
so only 79c00 - 7d540 are major free block under 4g...

after this patch, we will get
[    0.000000]  19 - 1f
[    0.000000]  28 40 - 80 95
[    0.000000]  702 740 - 1000 1000
[    0.000000]  347c - 347e
[    0.000000]  34e7 3500 - 3600 3600
[    0.000000]  37dd - 3800
[    0.000000]  39dd - 3a00
[    0.000000]  3bdd - 3c00
[    0.000000]  3ddd - 3e00
[    0.000000]  3fdd - 4000
[    0.000000]  41dd - 4200
[    0.000000]  43dd - 4400
[    0.000000]  45dd - 4600
[    0.000000]  47dd - 4800
[    0.000000]  49dd - 4a00
[    0.000000]  4bdd - 4c00
[    0.000000]  4ddd - 4e00
[    0.000000]  4fdd - 5000
[    0.000000]  51dd - 5200
[    0.000000]  53dd - 5400
[    0.000000]  95dd 9600 - 7d540 7d550
[    0.000000]  7f745 - 7f750
[    0.000000]  17000b 170040 - 2080000 2080000
we will have 9600 - 7d540 for major free block...
