Maybe add that this implies that we're not making use of PUD mappings in
the direct map yet, and link to the proposal on how we could optimize
that eventually in the future.

You shouldn't need the nid, right?

We're now calling that under the memory hotplug lock. I assume this is
fine, but I remember some ugly lockdep details ...should be alright I guess.

Better call remove_memory_block_devices() and arch_remove_memory(start,
size, altmap) here explicitly instead of using
remove_memory_block_and_altmap() that really can only handle a single
memory block with any inputs.

Can we continue doing that in the old order? (IOW before taking the lock?).

Unrelated change.
