Most architectures have fairly simple discontiguous memory - a
simple set of successive regions each containing some memory.
These can be described simply as a log2 of their maximum size,
along with the base address of the first region and the number
of regions.
The base address is already described by PHYS_PFN_OFFSET, and
the number of regions via the MAX_NUMNODES and the number of
online nodes.
If we then supply the log2 of their maximum size, all the other
discontigmem macros can move into generic code.
There is one exception: lh7a40x seems to have a more complicated
setup; this is left alone.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
This patch allows for assorted type of cleanups by letting assembly code
use the same set of defines for constant values and avoid duplicated
definitions that might not always be in sync, or that might simply be
confusing due to the different names for the same thing.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
