Agreed. But I just tried to stick to the page_cgroup.c model. I
suggest you send a patch to fix it in mm/page_cgroup.c, then I'll
synchronize mm/page_autonuma.c with whatever lands in page_cgroup.c.
The idea is that in the future it'd be nice to unify those with a
common implementation. And the closer page_cgroup.c and
page_autonuma.c are, the less work it'll be to update them to use a
common framework. And if it's never going to be worth it to unify it
(if it generates more code than it saves), well then keeping the code
as similar as possible, is still beneficial so it's easier to review both.

last_nid is statistical info so if it's random it's ok (I didn't add
bugchecks to trap uninitialized cases to it, maybe I should?).
sparse_init_one_section also initializes it, and that's invoked by
sparse_add_one_section.
Also those fields are also initialized when the page is freed the
first time to add it to the buddy, but I didn't want to depend on
that, I thought an explicit init post-allocation would be more robust.
By reviewing it the only thing I found is that I was wasting a bit of
.text for 32bit builds (CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=n).

So those can be freed if it's a non sparsemem build. The caller has
__paginging init too so it should be ok.
The other page_autonuma.c places invoked only by sparsemem hotplug
code are using meminit so in theory it should work (I haven't tested
it yet).
Thanks for the review!
