We enable it for all configurations that also have SPARSEMEM enabled,
which are 64-bit x86, powerpc and s390 plus sh4.

So far as I know, it's not generally useful on i386.  No-one runs 32-
bit operating systems on real hardware with memory hotplug, and most VM
managers use ballooning to adjust guest RAM.
