The function `memory_add_physaddr_to_nid` seems a misnomer.
It does not to "add" a physical address to a NID mapping,
but rather it gets the NID associated with a given physical address.

You probably misunderstood what the function is used for: memory hotplug aka "memory_add".

This patch is making matters worse by stripping that detail, unfortunately.
