Fix 3 problems in the MIPS SPARSEMEM implementation:
1) mem_init() sets/clears PG_reserved on all pages in the HIGHMEM range
without checking to see whether the page descriptor actually exists.
2) bootmem_init() never calls memory_present() on HIGHMEM pages, so
page descriptors are never created for them if SPARSEMEM is enabled.
3) bootmem_init() calls memory_present() on lowmem pages before bootmem
is fully set up. This is bad because memory_present() can allocate
bootmem in some circumstances (e.g. if SPARSEMEM_EXTREME ever got
enabled).
I think this may do the same thing as my patch:
http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1988/
Although my patch had different motivations, and changes some other
things around too.
