Uhmf, that is a not so descriptive name.

I tend to agree here, I like more a simplistic version for hotplug.

I am not sure if I would duplicate the code there.
We could just pass the pointer of the function we want to call to
link_mem_sections? either register_mem_sect_under_node_hotplug or
register_mem_sect_under_node_early?
Would not that be clean and clear enough?
