I'm not sure a macro is better than a static inline.

Maybe we'd want to warn if pgdat passed to pgtat_to_phys() is not
&contig_page_data, e.g something like

static inline phys_addr_t pgdat_to_phys(struct pglist_data *pgdat)
{
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NUMA)) {
if (pgdat == &contig_page_data)
return __pa_symbol(&contig_page_data);
else
pr_warn("Unexpected pglist_data pointer!\n");
}

return __pa(pgdat);
}
