To be more precise, I wonder if it should actually be

__remove_pages(page_zone(pfn_to_page(start_pfn)), res->start,
               resource_size(res))

IOW, keep calling __remove_pages() with the same parameters but read
nid/zone from the offset one.

Hope some memunmap_pages() expert can clarify.
