RISC-V: enable sparsemem by default for defconfig
on an arch level, RISC-V defaults to FLATMEM. On PolarFire SoC, the
memory layout is almost always sparse, with a maximum of 1 GiB at
0x8000_0000 & a possible 16 GiB range at 0x10_0000_0000. The Icicle kit,
for example, has 2 GiB of DDR - so there's a big hole in the memory map
between the two gigs. Prior to v6.1-rc1, boot times from defconfig
builds were pretty bad on Icicle but enabling sparsemem would fix those
issues. As of v6.1-rc1, the Icicle kit no longer boots from defconfig
builds with the in-kernel devicetree. A change to the memory map
resulted in a futher "sparse-ification", producing a splat on boot:
