Size of mem_section array depends on size of physical address space. In preparation for boot-time switching between paging modes on x86-64 we need to make allocation of mem_section dynamic. The patch allocates the array on the first call to sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions(). Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
