When !CONFIG_NUMA it is defined in include/linux/memory_hotplug.h as 0.
In patch 1/5 of this series we require !NUMA to enable
ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

The reason for this simplification is simply that we would not know how
to decide the correct node to which to add memory when NUMA is on.
Any suggestion on that matter is welcome. 

Thanks,
Andrea
