We don't need this check. page_group_by_mobility_disabled is an optimization for
low memory system. but memory hotplug should work even though run on low memory.

In other words, current upstream code is buggy. :-)

I don't think this order change is unnecessary. Why did you swap?


Other than that, looks very good to me.
