There was a breif dicusion on linux-ia64 which I interpated as Tony
saying it was a good idea.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.ia64/16325/focus=16327

With regards to sparse, the current code needs most if
not all these fixes in order to use arch/ia64/mm/discontig.c.
Is the idea to rework that?
