What I meant is

include/linux/vmstat.h has a definition for count_vm_numa_event() for
!CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING case like below:

#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING
#define count_vm_numa_event(x)     count_vm_event(x)
#define count_vm_numa_events(x, y) count_vm_events(x, y)
#else
#define count_vm_numa_event(x) do {} while (0)
#define count_vm_numa_events(x, y) do { (void)(y); } while (0)
#endif /* CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING */

and hence moving count_vm_numa_events(NUMA_HINT_FAULTS) to within 
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING section in numa_migrate_check() isn't necessary. 
The current code already compiles fine when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is 
turned off.

Yes !CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING stubs for numa_migrate_check(), 
do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page() would be good.
