Probably because it started in the NUMA-Q port, and we were still trying
to stay off the radar at that point.  It looks like it showed up in
~2.5.[3-4]?.  We didn't know what the heck we were doing back then, and
it probably leaked out from under CONFIG_NUMA/DISCONTIGMEM at some
point.

Seems like a good thing to consolidate to me.  Especially since it's
just a shortcut to the (unconditionally defined) structure member, I
can't see a real justification for needing different definitions.
