removing the statement completely gives
text data bss total filename 11874896 6019382 17304160 35198438 vmlinux-sparsemem_static 11935172 6019702 526944 18481818 vmlinux
for a loogsoon64 kernel. And the kernel boots and works just fine. Can you respin your patch and remove the select SPARSEMEM_STATIC ?
Thomas.
