It's implemented by adding a new Kconfig option named
CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, which will be automatically selected by
memory-hotplug feature fully supported archs(currently only on x86_64).

ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Rename the patch title to conform it's content.
- Update memory_hotplug.h and remove the misleading TODO pointed out by Michal.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Add a Kconfig option named HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE suggested by Michal, which
  will be automatically selected by supported archs(currently only on x86_64).

I am still not sure I understand the relation to MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.
Is register_page_bootmem_info_node required/helpful even if
!CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE?

Also, now that I am thinking about that more, maybe it would
be cleaner to put the select into arch/x86/Kconfig and do it
same as ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_{HOTPLUG,HOTREMOVE} (and name it
ARCH_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE).

From old kenrel's view register_page_bootmem_info_node() is defined in 
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE, it registers some info for 
memory hotplug/remove. If we don't use MEMORY_HOTPLUG feature, this
function is empty, we don't need the info at all.
So this info is not required/helpful if !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.

Maybe put it in mm/Kconfig is a better choice, because if one day someone implements
the register_page_bootmem_info_node() for other archs they will get some clues
here, that's it has been implemented on x86_64. 
But I'm not so sure...

OK, then I suggest moving it under CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE guards rather
than CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

My understanding is that doing that in arch code is more appropriate
because it makes the generic code less complicated. But I do not have
any strong opinion on that. Looking at other ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
and others suggests that we should be consistent with that.

Thanks!

I can't agree more ;-) 
I also find that page_isolation.c selected by MEMORY_ISOLATION under MEMORY_HOTPLUG
is also such case, I fix it by the way.
