Sounds to me like max_mapnr is not set correctly. See the code in
setup_bootmem(). Seems like 'mem_size' should be set to the largest
memory block, not just the one that contains the kernel...

This patch still makes no sense. I'm not sure why we have an arch
specific pfn_valid() because it's very similar to the generic one. But
my guess is there's a reason for it and it's not doing what it is
supposed when you remove it for the sparsemem case.
