Separation from memory_hotplug.c is definitely a right step. I am
wondering about the config dependency though

I would have expected this would depend on CONFIG_SPARSE.
BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE is really an odd thing to depend on here. There is
some functionality which requires the node info but that can be gated
specifically. Or what is the thinking behind?

This doesn't matter right now because it seems that the *_page_bootmem
is only used by x86 outside of the memory hotplug.

Other than that looks good to me.
