Let's rename it to "sparse_metadata_init_nid", avoid the "pnum" terminology and drop the function comment. Further, rename the "map" variable to "mem_map" for consistency with other functions. Signed-off-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) <david@kernel.org>
LGTM, one nit below. Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM) <ljs@kernel.org>
