Since
commit 60bb462fc7adb06ebee3beb5a4af6c7e6182e248
Author: David Hildenbrand <david@...hat.com>

drivers/base/node.c: simplify unregister_memory_block_under_nodes()
that problem should be gone. There is no get_nid_for_pfn() call anymore.
So this patch should no longer be necessary - but as I said during
earlier versions of this patch, the re-ordering might still make sense
for consistency (removing stuff in the reverse order they were added).
You'll have to rephrase the description then.
