I mean we can of course go ahead and drop the "NUMA_NO_NODE - 1" thingy
from the patch. A memory block with multiple nodes would (as of now)
only indicate one of the nodes.

Then there is simply no way to WARN_ON_ONCE() in case unexpected things
would happen. (I mean it really shouldn't happen or we have a BUG
somewhere else)

Alternative: Add "bool mixed_nids;" to "struct memory block".
