Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/3] arm64/numa: export memory_add_physaddr_to_nid
as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL

This exports memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() for module driver to use.

memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() is a fallback option to get the nid in case
NUMA_NO_NID is detected.

Does it make sense to export a noop function? Wouldn't make more sense
to simply make it static inline somewhere in a header? I haven't checked
whether there is an easy way to do that sanely bu this just hit my eyes.

Okay, I can make a change in memory_hotplug.h, sth like:

--- a/include/linux/memory_hotplug.h
+++ b/include/linux/memory_hotplug.h

@@ -149,13 +149,13 @@ int add_pages(int nid, unsigned long start_pfn, unsigned long nr_pages,

 {
        return 0;
 }
+#else
+extern int memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(u64 start);
 #endif

And then check the memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() helper on all arches,
if it is noop(return 0), I can simply remove it.
if it is not noop, after the helper, 
#define memory_add_physaddr_to_nid

What do you think of this proposal?
