The kbuild-robot points out that this function causes a section
mismatch warning in the CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n case. It touches
numa_meminfo which gets marked __init in that configuration. Given the
numa information is useful independent of memory hotplug I am going to
add a patch to add a CONFIG_KEEP_NUMA configuration symbol that is
selected by CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, or any driver that wants to use
phys_to_target_node(). Then use CONFIG_KEEP_NUMA to gate whether
numa_meminfo is marked __init, or not.
