Ahh..how brave you are.
my patch was against mmotm-07-01.
select SPARSEMEM_HAS_PIT in config.
(in menuconfig it will appear under Processor type and features.)
This is a fixed one, maybe mm/sparce.o can be compiled.
At least, arch-generic part is compiled.
(This config should be selected automatically via arm's config.
this patch is just for test.)
