The setup_node_data() function allocates a pg_data_t object, inserts it
into the node_data[] array and initializes the following fields:
node_id, node_start_pfn and node_spanned_pages.
However, a few function calls later during the kernel boot,
free_area_init_node() re-initializes those fields, possibly with
different values. This means that the initialization done by
setup_node_data() is not used.
This causes a small glitch when running Linux as a hyperv numa guest:

In this dmesg, the SRAT table reports that the memory range for node 1
starts at 0x80200000. However, the line starting with "Initmem" reports
that node 1 memory range starts at 0x80800000. The "Initmem" line is
reported by setup_node_data() and is wrong, because the kernel ends up
using the range as reported in the SRAT table.
This commit drops all that dead code from setup_node_data(), renames it
to alloc_node_data() and adds a printk() to free_area_init_node() so
that we report a node's memory range accurately.
Here's the same dmesg section with this patch applied:

This commit was tested on a two node bare-metal NUMA machine and Linux
as a numa guest on hyperv and qemu/kvm.
PS: The wrong memory range reported by setup_node_data() seems to be
harmless in the current kernel because it's just not used. However,
that bad range is used in kernel 2.6.32 to initialize the old boot
memory allocator, which causes a crash during boot.
