I didn't read code code in detail to see how page_ext memory space
allocated in boot code and memory hotplug but to me, it's not good
to check NULL whenever we calls lookup_page_ext.

More dangerous thing is now page_ext is used by optionable feature(ie, not
critical for system stability) but if we want to use page_ext as
another important tool for the system in future,
it could be a serious problem.

Can we put some hooks of page_ext into memory-hotplug so guarantee
that page_ext memory space is allocated with memmap space at the
same time? IOW, once every PFN wakers find a page is valid, page_ext
is valid, too so lookup_page_ext never returns NULL on valid page
by design.

I hope we consider this direction, too.

Thanks.
