Hmm... we want the node data to be colocated on the same node and I
don't think being hotpluggable necessarily requires the node data to
be allocated on a different node. Does node data of a hotpluggable
node need to stay around after hotunplug?

I don't think it's a huge issue but it'd be great if we can clarify
where the restriction is coming from.

Thanks.
