This causes a problem because we already have a definition of pfn_to_nid()
in include/linux/mmzone.h.  Effectively:

#ifndef CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES

#define pfn_to_nid(pfn)		(0)

#else /* CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES */

#include <asm/mmzone.h>

#endif /* !CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES */


If someone does !CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, pfn_to_nid() gets a duplicate
definition (from inspection).

If someone does CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES && CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM we get
duplicate definitions of pfn_to_nid(): one in include/linux/mmzone.h and
one in include/asm/mmzone.h.

It's a big mess - can someone please fix it up?  The maze of config options
is just over the top.

Meanwhile, I'll drop this patch.
