[PATCH]: Only one memory zone for sparc64

[Anton Blanchard]

Hi,

On sparc64 we dont care about the different memory zones and iterating
through them all over the place only serves to waste CPU. I suspect this
would be the case with some other architectures but for the moment I
have just enabled it for sparc64.

With this patch I get close to a 1% improvement in dbench on the dual
ultra60.
