That's true, yes. I considered two other ways to do this:

1) smallest patch, but more #ifdef:

diff --git a/arch/x86/mm/numa.c b/arch/x86/mm/numa.c
index 59ba008504dc..fbf5231a3d35 100644

+#ifdef NODE_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS
+	unsigned long pfn_align;
+#endif
 	int i, nid;
 
 	/* Account for nodes with cpus and no memory */

2) medium size, weird style:

+			return -EINVAL;
+		}
 	}
 #endif
 	if (!numa_meminfo_cover_memory(mi))

and 3 is what I sent: biggest, but removes #ifdef

Any preference?

Thanks!
