"context" does not really fit the two cases that rather tell you what to
do (like a single flag).

I would have renamed "enum memmap_context" to something like "enum
mp_context" ("memory plug") and used

MP_CONTEXT_EARLY / MP_CONTEXT_HOTPLUG

Instead of using fairly specific "LINKMEM_*_CHECK_NODE_ID" ...

I am, also bad at naming, so ... :)
