Ah, I see. When CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n those come into play.
That is not a problem for the memory-notify thing because drivers/base/memory.c
gets compiled IFF CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y.
I am thinking two ways to fix this:

 1) Move the code for node-notify to drivers/base/memory.c
 2) Surround those functions within a
 #ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
 ...
 #endif

Thoughts? I lean towards option #2 as it looks cleaner to me:

 diff --git a/drivers/base/node.c b/drivers/base/node.c
