Ok here is the patch to remove DISCONTIG and FLATMEM
x86_64: Make sparsemem/vmemmap the default 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.
Order FlatMem Discontig SparseMem
0 639 665 641
1 567 647 593
2 679 774 692
3 763 967 781
4 961 1501 962
5 1356 2344 1392
6 2224 3982 2336
7 4869 7225 5074
8 12500 14048 12732
9 27926 28223 28165
10 58578 58714 58682
Memory use:

Kernel size:

3844612 397739 1264536 5506887 540747 vmlinux
So 4.5k growth in text size vs. FLATMEM.

2k growth in overall memory use after boot.

3896428 470659 1276824 5643911 561e87 vmlinux
8k text growth. Given that we fully inline virt_to_page and friends now
that is rather good.

Swap: 9775512 0 9775512
The total available memory is increased by 8k.
This patch makes sparsemem the default and removes discontig and
flatmem support from x86.
