It is more complicated than I thought. One would tell it's a mess.
The patch bellow fixes the compilation issue but I am not sure we want
to include memory_hotplug.h into arch/x86/mm/init_64.c. Moreover

+void register_page_bootmem_memmap(unsigned long section_nr,
+				  struct page *start_page, unsigned long size)
+{
+	/* TODO */
+}

for other archs would suggest that the code is not ready yet. Should
this rather be dropped for now?
