[PATCH 3/3] ARM: Allow either FLATMEM or SPARSEMEM on the multiplatform build

[Gregory Fong]

ARMv7 chips with LPAE can often benefit from SPARSEMEM, as portions of
system memory can be located deep in the 36-bit address space.  Allow
FLATMEM or SPARSEMEM to be selectable at compile time; FLATMEM remains
the default.

This is based on Kevin's "[PATCH 3/3] ARM: Allow either FLATMEM or
SPARSEMEM on the multi-v7 build" from [1] and shamelessly rips off his
commit message text above.  As Arnd pointed out at [2] there doesn't
seem to be any reason to tie this specifically to ARMv7, so this has
been changed to apply to all multiplatform kernels.

I don't have any platforms other than armv7 handily set up to test SPARSEMEM,
so any testing would be appreciated.  FLATMEM is still the default so at least
nobody will see anything change unless they deliberately switch.
