IA64: SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP 16K page size support

Browse Source 
Equip IA64 sparsemem with a virtual memmap.  This is similar to the existing
CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP functionality for DISCONTIGMEM.  It uses a PAGE_SIZE
mapping.

This is provided as a minimally intrusive solution.  We split the 128TB
VMALLOC area into two 64TB areas and use one for the virtual memmap.

This should replace CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP long term.
