Hmmm... CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is not set if you do allnoconfig

config SPARSEMEM
        def_bool y
        depends on SPARSEMEM_MANUAL

So I guess we need to set SPARSEMEM_MANUAL

But arch/x86/Kconfig has

config SPARSEMEM_MANUAL
        bool "Sparse Memory"
        depends on ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE
        help
          This will be the only option for some systems, including
          memory hotplug systems.  This is normal.

It needs to be not deselectable for x86_64. 

Inserting

	def_bool y if X86_64

did not help....

Somehow make menuconfig did not give me an ability to even enable this 
again.
