save_add_info() is defined as:
#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
static inline int save_add_info(void) {return 1;}
#else
static inline int save_add_info(void) {return 0;}
#endif
which means it is true when memory hotplug is configured.
In acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init(), it checks the memory hotplug
flag in SRAT memory affinity and save_add_info() like this:
if ((ma->flags & ACPI_SRAT_MEM_HOT_PLUGGABLE) && !save_add_info())
goto out_err;
......
node = setup_node(pxm);
numa_add_memblk(node, start, end);
......
which means if the memory range is hotpluggable, but memory hotplug is not
configured, it won't add these memory to numa_meminfo.
After this, numa_meminfo_cover_memory() will fail, which will finally cause
numa_init() to fail.
numa_init()
|->numa_register_memblks()
|->numa_meminfo_cover_memory()
When numa_init() fails, it will fallback to numa_init(dummy_numa_init), and
all numa architecture will not be setup.
This is nonsense. Even if memory hotplug is not configured, we can also use
numa architecture.
Actually, save_add_info() is added by commit 71efa8fdc55e70ec6687c897a30759f0a2c2ad7e
in 2006. And now it is useless.
So this patch kill save_add_info() and the nonsense checking.
