Please see below. :)

IIUC, we call init_mem_mapping() for each node ranges. In the first time,
local_max_pfn_mapped = begin >> PAGE_SHIFT;
local_min_pfn_mapped = real_end >> PAGE_SHIFT;
which means
local_min_pfn_mapped >= local_max_pfn_mapped
right ?

So, the first page allocated by alloc_low_pages() is not on local node,
right ?
Furthermore, the first page of pagetable is not on local node, right ?

BTW, I'm reading your code, and doing necessary hot-add and hot-remove
changes now.

Thanks. :)
