This doesn't *look* very x86-specific, and apparently you don't need
any arm64-specific changes?  Too bad this can't be unified a little
bit to remove the arch #ifdefs completely.

I do see that init_memory_less_node() is only implemented on x86, but
it just seems like all this might not be inherently be arch-specific.
