So use cpu_to_mem()/numa_mem_id() instead to get the nearest node with
memory for the/current cpu.

If CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES is disabled, cpu_to_mem()/numa_mem_id()
is the same as cpu_to_node()/numa_node_id().

I think blk-mq requires some of the same help, as do other places in the block layer. I'll take a look at that.

As for you smp.c bits here:
