Subject: [PATCH 1/2] MIPS: Enable SPARSEMEM option unconditionally on 64BIT

SPARSEMEM have been tested on Cavium and Loongson64 for a while
and we are confident that they are working properly on 64bit
systems.

Since it's almost certain for 64bit MIPS system to have a hole
in memory space, SPARSEMEM will be more efficent for them.

Also promote platforms marked with SPARSEMEM_ENABLE before
to SPARSEMEM_DEFAULT, as they tend to have huge holes in
address space.
