x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only 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.

This patch makes sparsemem the default and removes discontig and flatmem support from x86.
