sparse_init() requires to temporary allocate two large buffers:
usemap_map and map_map. Baoquan He has identified that these buffers are so
large that Linux is not bootable on small memory machines, such as a kdump
boot.
Baoquan provided a fix, which reduces these sizes of these buffers, but it
is much better to get rid of them entirely.
Add a new way to initialize sparse memory: sparse_init_nid(), which only
operates within one memory node, and thus allocates memory either in large
contiguous block or allocates section by section. This eliminates the need
for use of temporary buffers.
For simplified bisecting and review, the new interface is going to be
enabled as well as old code removed in the next patch.
