Cover letter [PATCH 0/4] sparsemem intro patches
The following four patches provide the last needed changes before the introduction of sparsemem. For a more complete description of what this will do, please see this patch:

Three of these are i386-only, but one of them reorganizes the macros used to manage the space in page->flags, and will affect all platforms. There are analogous patches to the i386 ones for ppc64, ia64, and x86_64, but those will be submitted by the normal arch maintainers.
The combination of the four patches has been test-booted on a variety of i386 hardware, and compiled for ppc64, i386, and x86-64 with about 17 different .configs. It's also been runtime-tested on ia64 configs (with more patches on top).
