I disagree with this change.

It makes it impossible to build the ehea driver without memory hotplug
enabled.  Presumably, this commit was intended to work around a build
break of this sort (with EHEA=m and MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n):

drivers/net/ehea/ehea_qmr.c: In function 'ehea_create_busmap':
drivers/net/ehea/ehea_qmr.c:635: error: implicit declaration of function 'walk_memory_resource'

(some indication of this should have been in the commit message, btw)

I think this was the wrong way to fix the issue.  EHEA=m and
MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n is a valid configuration for machines I test.

Any thoughts on the following, which makes walk_memory_resource()
available regardless of MEMORY_HOTPLUG's setting?  I've tested it on a
JS22 (Power6 blade).
