After new memory blocks have been hotplugged, max_pfn and max_low_pfn
needs updating to reflect on new PFNs being hot added to system.

We use 'max_pfn' as part of the argument to set_max_mapnr(). Does that need
updating as well?

Do we have sufficient locking to ensure nobody is looking at max_pfn or
max_low_pfn while we update them?

Only the write side is protected by memory hotplug locking. The read side is lockless -- just like all of the other pfn_to_online_page() machinery.
