This patch implements pfn_valid() micro optimization.
This uses ia64_pfn_valid() idea to check mem_map is valid or not instead of
sparsemem's logic.
By this, we'll not access mem_section[] in usual ops.
I attaches my easy test result with *micro* benchmark on SMP system.
I'm glad if you give me an advice about testing.
