The latest "attempts/rewrite-mem_hotplug" branch passes my regression
testing if I cherry-pick the following x86/mm fixes from mainline:

e6ab9c4d4377 x86/mm/64: Fix crash in remove_pagetable()
71389703839e mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page()
with a single reference to fix pmem crash
