Prolly best to briefly describe what the overall goal is about.

Hmmm, so you're gonna reserve all hotpluggable memory areas until
everything is up and running, which probably is why allocating
node_data on hotpluggable node doesn't work, right?

Don't we usually put variable declarations with initializers before
others? For some reason, the above block is painful to look at.
