Most memory models have the nid either in page flags or you can get it
from the zone that a page belongs to. So after boot its easy to
determine the node. However, at early boot the page flags may be
initialized relatively late. early_pfn_to_nid does use the early node map
to determine the node and not the page flags. You are switching to
the generic implementation of __pfn_to_nid and dropping the duplicate arch
logic.
