Right, I can see that that commit still does a

set_page_node(page, nid);
SetPageReserved(page);

for every added page. But of course the zone_idx might contain garbage.
So for this garbage pointer, f1dd2cd13c4b seems to be the right one.

Regarding shrink_zone_span(), I suspect it was introduced by

d0dc12e86b31 ("mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory hotplug")
