That should be a seperate change; there's a bugfix here (my patch) and 
then a cleanup patch that you could make incrementally on mine.  I don't 
personally like the name "rest_nodes_parsed" since it's poor English, I 
suggest renaming nodes_parsed to mem_nodes_parsed as I originally asked 
and then cpu_nodes_parsed to acpi_nodes_parsed or something similiar.

Ingo, the following is my bugfix patch that addresses the issue at 
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/69499.  Haicheng, can we add your 
tested-by line?



x86: set hotpluggable nodes in nodes_possible_map

nodes_possible_map does not currently include nodes that have SRAT
entries that are all ACPI_SRAT_MEM_HOT_PLUGGABLE since the bit is cleared
in nodes_parsed if it does not have an online address range.

Unequivocally setting the bit in nodes_parsed is insufficient since
existing code, such as acpi_get_nodes(), assumes all nodes in the map
have online address ranges.  In fact, all code using nodes_parsed assumes
such nodes represent an address range of online memory.

nodes_possible_map is created by unioning nodes_parsed and
cpu_nodes_parsed; the former represents nodes with online memory and the
latter represents memoryless nodes.  We now set the bit for hotpluggable
nodes in cpu_nodes_parsed so that it also gets set in nodes_possible_map.
