IMHO this is too much clutter.  Just make it mandatory for the
architectures to define their own MAX_NR_MEMBLKS in the numa case.

Or actually even better just have a 

#ifndef MAX_NR_MEMBLKS
#define MAX_NR_MEMBLKS	1
#endif

in the generic code and let every architecture that wants to override
it do so.
