Interesting. The gap is that node_{start,end}_pfn() requires
node_data[] which to date architectures have only setup for online
nodes. Recall a target node is an offline node that could come online
later. However, reworking offline data into node_data could be the
local solution for arm64, I'd just ask that each of the 6
memory-hotplug capable archs go make that opt-in decision themselves.
