Hi Richard,

I recall a bit of wrangling w #defines to make ARM64 and LOONGARCH build.
I'm seeing an x86 build error today:

>> arch/x86/mm/numa.c:957:12: error: redefinition of 'numa_fill_memblks'
957 | int __init numa_fill_memblks(u64 start, u64 end)

include/linux/numa.h:40:26: note: previous definition of 'numa_fill_memblks' with type
+'int(u64, u64)' {aka 'int(long long unsigned int, long long unsigned int)'}
40 | static inline int __init numa_fill_memblks(u64 start, u64 end)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In addition to what you suggest, would something like this diff below be
a useful safety measure to distinguish num_fill_memblks() success (rc:0)
and possible non-existence (rc:-1). I don't think it hurts to take a
second look using phys_to_target_node() (totall untested)
