Yes, I briefly mentioned this in the cover letter, but here is the
test I am using:

Right, this functionality is currently strictly limited to the
devm_memremap_pages() case where there are guarantees that the memory
will never be onlined. This is due to the fact that the section size
is entangled with the memblock api. That said I would have expected
you to trigger the warning in subsection_check() before getting this
far into the hotplug process.
