[RFC][PATCH 4/4] Introduce new Kconfig option for NUMA or DISCONTIG

[Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>]

There is some confusion that arose when working on SPARSEMEM patch
between what is needed for DISCONTIG vs. NUMA.

Multiple pg_data_t's are needed for DISCONTIGMEM or NUMA,
independently.  All of the current NUMA implementations require an
implementation of DISCONTIG.  Because of this, quite a lot of code
which is really needed for NUMA is actually under DISCONTIG #ifdefs.
For SPARSEMEM, we changed some of these #ifdefs to CONFIG_NUMA, but
that broke the DISCONTIG=y and NUMA=n case.

Introducing this new NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES config option allows code
that is needed for both NUMA or DISCONTIG to be separated out from
code that is specific to DISCONTIG.

One great advantage of this approach is that it doesn't require
every architecture to be converted over.  All of the current
implementations should "just work", only the ones implementing
SPARSEMEM will have to be fixed up.
