I think it would be better to define a common helper (pdev_kmalloc ?)
for this that just takes the pdev and that can be defined to a nop for
!CONFIG_NUMA Kernels.  This would avoid the bloat of the ->node
argument on non numa kernels and is a cleaner interface
too. pcibus_to_node() is just an array lookup and should be cheap
enough to redo.
