ia64->discontig sounds good, though I'm pretty sure that's what we're
using today:

/boot/config-2.6.29-2-mckinley:CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL=y
/boot/config-2.6.29-2-mckinley:CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
/boot/config-2.6.29-2-mckinley:CONFIG_ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE=y
/boot/config-2.6.29-2-mckinley:CONFIG_ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_DEFAULT=y
