[PATCH][2.6.20-rc1-mm1] sparsemem vmem_map optimzed pfn_valid() [0/2]

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>]

This patch implements pfn_valid() micro optimization.

This uses ia64_pfn_valid() idea to check mem_map is valid or not instead of
sparsemem's logic.

By this, we'll not access mem_section[] in usual ops.

I attaches my easy test result with *micro* benchmark on SMP system.
I'm glad if you give me an advice about testing.

AIM Independent Resource Benchmark - Suite IX "1.1"

test on 
CPU: Itanium2(madison) 1.3GHz x2, SMP
Memory: memory 8G
2.6.20-rc1-m1 / 
  extreme means  SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n
  vmem_map means SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y + optimze pfn_valid patch.
