The remainder of the discontig cruft has now been removed from the tree, anyone wishing to start on real discontig support is advised to go the sparsemem route instead.

Comment:
This was primarily an issue for the hp6xx and Saturn ports. However, on hp6xx RAM is shadowed quite frequently in the memory map, and it manages to be fully contiguous in a couple of places, so we're now fully contiguous on hp6xx for free.

The Saturn port on the other hand still needs proper discontig, but this port never got very far, and due to lack of time, it's unlikely to get much further unless someone else picks it up. Until that happens, discontig/sparsemem isn't really an issue for us.

The first step is to rip out most of the old discontig cruft that was there anyways, and this is now pretty much done. It should be much easier to do this properly and in a relatively isolated fashion now if anyone is really interested in it.
