noinline is unecessary, this is only referenced from sparse_index_init() 
and it's perfectly legimitate to inline.  Also, this should be __meminit 
and not __init.
Thanks for your comments. I'll change it into "inline __meminit" in next version :-)

Did you check what happens here if !node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY)?
I'm sorry that I'm not catching your point. Please explain for more
if necessary.

I'm not sure you're talking about "kfree(section);" since the memory
chunk is allocated either by kzalloc_node() or kzalloc().

Thanks,
Gavin
