So your proposal is to drop set_node_online from the patch and add it as a separate one which handles - sysfs part (i.e. do not register a node which doesn't span a physical address space) - hotplug side of (drop the pgd allocation, register node lazily when a first memblocks are registered)

Is the buddy fully up an running at that point? I don't think so, so we might have to allocate via memblock instead. But I might be wrong.

Yes, and maybe in the same go, remove/rework hotadd_new_pgdat(), because there is nothing to hotadd anymore. (we should double-check the initialization performed in there, it might all not be necessary anymore) -- Thanks, David / dhildenb
