That's x86 specific and not exposed to generic code -- at least in my
code base. I think we'd want an arch_alloc_nodedata() variant that
allocates via memblock -- and initializes all fields to 0. So
essentially a generic alloc_node_data().

That's really just free_area_init_node() below, I do wonder what value
free_area_init_memoryless_node() has as of today.

__build_all_zonelists() has to update the zonelists of all nodes I think.
