The issue I see is that this is a dangerous wrapper for pfn_to_nid() that is absolutely not obvious. The old second user on the memory removal path was completely buggy. IMHO nobody should be reusing that function. But it looks like a general „safe wrapper to get a nid“ - it‘s not.

How can we make that more obvious instead?
