NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES is for DISCONTIG || NUMA.  It is a blanket config
option that helps us separate those two very intertwined options.

They have similar functions: record the physical layout of the system.
But, memory_present() is for sparsemem, which basically implements
pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn().

The numa_memory_lookup_table[] is used for pfn_to_nid(), which is
actually orthogonal to what sparsemem needs.

Nope, we still need it for pfn_to_nid().  We could possibly replace the
current implementation like this:

#define pfn_to_nid(pfn)
page_zone(__pfn_to_section(pfn)->section_mem_map[pfn])->zone_pgdat->node_id

But, that might have a few performance implications :)  There are
certainly some options that sparsemem opens up here, and I hope that we
explore them further as we move away from discontig.

We could even do something like store the nid directly in the
mem_section.  But, as I said, that's an optimization that can come
later.
