Even on arm64, there is a dependency issue in dax_pmem kmem case.
If dax pmem uses memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() to decide which node that
memblock should add into, get_pfn_range_for_nid() might not have
the correct memblock info at that time. That is, get_pfn_range_for_nid()
can't get the correct memblock info before add_memory()

So IMO, memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() still have to implement as noop on
arm64 (return 0) together with sh,s390x? Powerpc, x86,ia64 can use their
own implementation. And phys_to_target_node() can use your suggested(
for_each_online_node() ...)

What do you think of it? Thanks
