Ahh..how brave you are.

my patch was against mmotm-07-01.
select SPARSEMEM_HAS_PIT in config.
(in menuconfig it will appear under Processor type and features.)

This is a fixed one, maybe mm/sparce.o can be compiled.
At least, arch-generic part is compiled.

(This config should be selected automatically via arm's config.
 this patch is just for test.)
