This did come out even shorter than I expected and the "work around" for
the pfn_valid issue is neat and tidy.

I've done some really quick checks bolting this in place of the old
hotplug code  we were abusing with our NUMA handling (which is ripped out
of the x86 code).  Seems to work well though I wouldn't describe these as
proper testing as it was just a few cycles. It's somewhat of a pain to test
until you add remove as have to keep rebooting :)

The one case I have left that I'll try and run tomorrow is the one where
we probe memory on a NUMA node that is empty at boot.
There used to be a nasty work around needed for that path.  The core code
has changed a fair bit since then so may be fine now. I'd just
like to sanity check it. So for today I'll go with a resounding
'seems good'.

Thanks.
