This is just ugly. Could you please add something like HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE
or something with a bettern name and let CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG select it
for supported architectures and configurations (e.g.
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP doesn't need a special arch support, right?).
These Todo things are just too messy.
