Subject: [PATCH] mem_section: Support only 46 bit for MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS on
 PPC64

Related to change:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2013-January/007849.html

Linux on PPC64 has supported only 46 bit MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS since commit:
048ee0993ec8360abb0b51bdf8f8721e9ed62ec4

Also remove set_ppc64_max_physmem_bits and set info->max_physmem_bits in
get_machdep_info_ppc64 instead. set_ppc64_max_physmem_bits is broken
for all kernels compiled with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=n. makedumpfile is
unable to get mem_section field from powerpc kernel since commit:
fd59d231f81cb02870b9cf15f456a897f3669b4e
