No.
Other arch's arch_add_memory() and remove_memory() have been already
used for NUMA case too. But i386 didn't do it because just 
contig_page_data is used. 
Current NODE_DATA() macro is defined both case appropriately.
So, this #ifdef is redundant now.

memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() is used for memory hotplug to 
find node id for new memory when ACPI's DSDT doesn't define
_PXM for new memory. So, when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is not set,
this function is not used.
