I suggest to use two data structure,
struct memory_tier {
struct list_head list;
nodemask_t nodelist;
int rank;
};
struct memory_tier_dev {
struct list_head list;
struct device dev;
struct memory_tier *tier;
};
Then we can put struct memory_tier here and still hide struct
memory_tier_dev in memory_tiers.c. In this way, we don't need to
force all struct memory_tier users to compile the entire driver core
headers. And we can separate the user space interface implementation
from the other part of the kernel.

I don't find caller of these 2 functions in series. Can we remove
these functions?
