- if memory is hotplugged, it's obviously hotplugable, so we don't have
to rely on BIOS description.

Not sure I understand. We do not have any information about the hotplug
status at the time we do online.

The x86 SRAT (or the dt, on other platforms) can describe memory as hotpluggable. See memblock_mark_hotplug(). That's only for memory present at boot, though.

He's saying that since the memory was added after boot, it is by definition hotpluggable. There's no need to check for that marking/description.
