PATCH 1/1 no arch-specific mem_map init

So, this patch started out with me trying to keep from passing contiguous, node-specific mem_map into free_area_init_node() and cousins. Instead, I relied on some calls to pfn_to_page().

This works fine and dandy when all you need is the pgdat->node_mem_map to do pfn_to_page(). However, the non-NUMA/DISCONTIG architectures use the real, global mem_map[] instead of a node_mem_map in the pfn_to_page() calculation. So, I ended up effectively trying to initialize mem_map from itself, when it was NULL. That was bad, and caused some very pretty colors on someone's screen when he tested it.

So, I had to make sure to initialize the global mem_map[] before calling into free_area_init_node(). Then, I realized how many architectures do this on their own, and have comments like this:

        /* XXX: MRB-remove - this doesn't seem sane, should this be done somewhere else ?*/
        mem_map = NODE_DATA(0)->node_mem_map;

Also, ppc64 has some interesting hacks^Wcode in this area to make up for any empty-memory NUMA nodes, which I think can go away now.

The patch magically removes more code than it adds. It could be smaller, but I shamelessly added some comments.

Applies on top of 2.6.8.1-mm4. It touches enough architectures that it probably needs plenty of cooling-off time in -mm.

Also, ppc64 has some interesting hacks^Wcode in this area to make up for any empty-memory NUMA nodes, which I think can go away now.

The following patch does what my first one did (don't pass mem_map into the init functions), incorporates Jesse Barnes' ia64 fixes on top of that, and gets rid of all but one of the global mem_map initializations (parisc is weird). It also magically removes more code than it adds. It could be smaller, but I shamelessly added some comments.
