On CXL systems, block alignment may be as small as 256MB, which may
require a resize of the block size during initialization.  This is done
in the ACPI driver, so the resize function need to be made available.

Presently, only x86 provides the functionality to resize memory
block sizes.  Wire up a weak stub for set_memory_block_size_order,
similar to memory_block_size_bytes, that simply returns -ENODEV.

Since set_memory_block_size_order is now extern, we also need to
drop the __init macro.

I can understand what you are trying to achieve, but letting arbitrary modules mess with this sounds like a bad idea.
