[SPARSEMEM] confusing uses of SPARSEM_EXTREME

From: Franck Bui-Huu

Is it me or the use of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME is really confusing in
mm/sparce.c ? Shouldn't we use CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_STATIC instead like
the following patch suggests ?

Subject: [PATCH] Remove confusing uses of SPARSEMEM_EXTREME

CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME is used in sparce.c whereas
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_STATIC seems to be more appropriate.
