The comment is hard to understand. Should it read "When
CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE, we permit onlining of a node which doesn't have
normal memory"?

Ditto, after replacing "online" with offlining".

Please, spend more time over the accuracy and completeness of the
changelog and comments? That will result in better and more
maintainable code. And it results in *much* more effective code
reviewing.
