This code is entirely stale; it came from the initial port of Linux
2.6.15 to Tilera.  Since we have always used DISCONTIGMEM unconditionally,
which forces NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES to be true, this code never compiles.
Note the completely irrelevant comment about x86 in this ifdef block, too :-)

The cleanest thing to do is just remove those three functions in the
ifdef block.  I'll do that to our internal tree and plan to push the
change upstream later.
