We will need this fix to sparsemem on IA64. I hope this will not cause other issues in sparsemem? IA64: Increase maximum physmem size to cover 8 petabyte We currently can support these large configurations only with Discontigmem. Increase sparsemems max physmem bits to also be able to handle 8 petabyte. Discontigmem supports up to 16 petabyte but I will need to use bit 53 to flag vmemmap addresses for the TLB handler. It seems that the currently used bit 60 for the 16M configuration is not supported by a certain virtualization technique.
