IIRC, only memory assigned to/onlined to a ZONE is represented in the
pgdat node span. E.g., not offline memory blocks.

Esp., when hotplugging + onlining consecutive memory, there won't really
be any intersections in most cases if I am not wrong. It would not be
"intersection" but rather "closest fit".

With overlapping nodes it's even more unclear. Which one to pick?

With only a single dummy node I guess it should work (searching when
there is only a single node does not make too much sense).

Can you enlighten me why that is relevant for the memory hotplug path?
(or is it just a general comment to make the function as accurate as
possible for all addresses?)
