Ah, thank you for pointing out.

memory hotplug itself does nid = page_to_nid(pfn_to_page(pfn))..
so we can assume memmap of start_pfn will be valid..

I thought of that but it means (pfn < end_pfn) goes wrong.
If pfn is not aligned.

                   pfn-------->end_pfn----------->pfn+PAGES_PER_SECTION

pages in [pfn..end_pfn) will not be handled. But I'd like to think about
this in the next version.

Thank you for review.
