[PATCH] mm: use symbolic names instead of indices for zone initialisation

Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to
offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns).  The unintended
impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead
of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set.  As a result, the
the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off.

The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses
symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using
arch-independent zone-sizing.  Two users have successfully booted their
powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4).  It has also been boot tested on x86,
x86_64, ppc64 and ia64.  Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.

Credit to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for identifying the bug and rolling the
first fix.  Additional credit to Johannes Berg and Andreas Schwab for
reporting the problem and testing on powerpc.
