Hotplugged memory can be smaller than the original memory. For example,

4: 0x0000000094fff000..0x0000000094ffffff 0 NOMAP
max_pfn will affect read_page_owner. Therefore, it should first compare and
then select the larger value for max_pfn.

Yes, that's the right thing to do. (I always wonder if these values should be atomically updated ...)
