I assume that CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is the default for a good reason.
What I don't know is how strong that reason is (I am not a Power expert
at all).  Looking a bit further, it seems to be related to CONFIG_NUMA
in that you can enable CONFIG_FLATMEM if and only if that's disabled. 
So I suppose the configuration you used works for non-NUMA systems.

Anyway, does the patch I sent work for you?

Ben.
