Wouldn't it be just simpler to have ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK rather
than define memblock_next_valid_pfn for !HAVE_MEMBLOCK and then do the
(pfn + 1 ) - 1 games. I am usually against ifdefs in the code but that
would require a larger surgery to memmap_init_zone.

To be completely honest, I would like to see HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP
gone.

Other than that, the patch looks sane to me.
