The function `memory_add_physaddr_to_nid` seems a misnomer.
It does not to "add" a physical address to a NID mapping,
but rather it gets the NID associated with a given physical address.

You probably misunderstood what the function is used for: memory hotplug
aka "memory_add".
Thanks for your feedback. I get the part about memory hotplug here but
using memory_add still seems a little odd as it doesn't truly reflect
what this api is doing.
However, I agree that my current suggestion
may not be the perfect choice for the name, so I'm open to suggestions.

Perhaps, something like "memory_add_get_nid_by_phys" may work here?

I don't think this name is really any better and worth the churn :(
