CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP was introduced in 2.6.24-rc1.

If I read this Kconfig.x86_64 correctly then it seems that DISCONTIG is 
still the default. Andy?

config ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE
       bool
       depends on NUMA
       default y

config ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_DEFAULT
        def_bool y
        depends on NUMA

config ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE
        def_bool y
        depends on (NUMA || EXPERIMENTAL)
        select SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE

config ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE
        def_bool y
        depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG

config ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE
        def_bool y
        depends on !NUMA
