[PATCH 1/4] create mm/Kconfig for arch-independent memory options

[Dave Hansen]

With sparsemem being introduced, we need a central place for new
memory-related .config options: mm/Kconfig.  This allows us to
remove many of the duplicated arch-specific options.

The new option, CONFIG_FLATMEM, is there to enable us to detangle
NUMA and DISCONTIGMEM.  This is a requirement for sparsemem
because sparsemem uses the NUMA code without the presence of
DISCONTIGMEM. The sparsemem patches use CONFIG_FLATMEM in generic
code, so this patch is a requirement before applying them.

Almost all places that used to do '#ifndef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM'
should use '#ifdef CONFIG_FLATMEM' instead.
